Does Taking Ibuprofen And Aleve Together Cause Dizziness?
Been dizzy for 4 days. No fever. Concerned it is a side effect of taking ibuprofen and aleve on the same day. My condition seems to be improving but the dizziness lingers. When I roll my head back and turn to the right I get real dizzy. Wondering if it could be a blood flow problem. Considering seeing a neurologist. I m 50.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Based on the description of worse dizziness with certain head positions, it is possible that your symptoms are related to BPPV.
This is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.
This is one of the more common causes of vertigo and it is related to changes in the inner ear. It is not due to the medication mentioned.
It can be diagnosed by visiting your doctor who would perform specific examination maneuvers.
It is treated by the Epley maneuver.
I hope this helps
