Taking Humira For RA. Feeling Dizzy And Nausea. Due To Medication?

Hi, I was just wondering is Humira can cause dizziness? I have been taking it now for about 3 years for severe RA and only recently I have noticed I am feeling fluish and dizzy quite often, if I sit still it isn't as bad but if I move around I feel quite a bit of nausea. I also just had a very bad infection that needed antibiotics which caused me to have to stop the humira for 4 weeks. I just started my injections again 2 days ago. Just wondering if this is normal or if it could be something to worry about?

Hello

Feeling of flushing and getting dizzy , taking adalimumab for RA

Following are your causes for dizzynes and flushing

Adalimumab does cause presyncope and syncope ( flushing and dizziness) due to hearts rhytm problems it causes

Feeling dizzy and faint can also be due to brain vessel infection by RA known S vasculitis .... Get mri and mra brain

If there is headAche and your other symptoms ... Adalimumab does causes thrombosis in brain vessels aswell

Above are your probable causes and you should get an ekg or hotler test and get reviewed by neurophysician

Hope this helps

Take care
