Hi,
It is important to seek medical attention from a healthcare provider as soon as possible if you are experiencing difficulty in balance, breathlessness, and other concerning symptoms. These symptoms can be caused by a variety of underlying conditions, some of which may be serious. Meclizine is an antihistamine medication. It is used to treat dizziness and motion sickness. However, it is possible that it may not be effective for everyone and can even worsen symptoms in some cases.
Stopping blood pressure medications without medical supervision can also be dangerous and may lead to further health complications. It is important to speak with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medications or treatment plan.
In the meantime, you can try to manage your symptoms by avoiding activities that require balance or coordination, taking frequent breaks to rest and hydrate, and using supportive devices such as handrails or walking aids if necessary. It is also important to follow your healthcare provider's instructions for any medication or treatment recommendations and attend all scheduled appointments for your condition.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
