Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Good morning, I am a married white male, age 64. I have been successfully uses a single 20 mg paxil cap each day for depression. On occasions when I missed three of more days because of delays in refilling my prescription, I experiences a sense of light-headedness or dizinness on making suddens head movements. During the past week or so, I ve started to expeience this same sensation even though I have been taking the medication without interruption. I might note that this coincides with physcian prescribed doses of Advil (4 200 mg caps three times daily), and two different antibiotics for cellulitis in my left knee. Needess to say, I d like the light-headedness/diziness to stop -- sooner rather than later. Thoughts??
It is possible that the lightheaded sensation is related to the infection that you are currently fighting.
This sensation can also occur if there is inadequate fluid intake or if the blood pressure or blood sugar is too low. These readings should be checked to see if they are within normal range.
I hope this helps
