Hi there,

The most common cause of this is dehydration or low blood pressure. You might be on too many blood pressure medications. I'd make sure to check your blood pressure several times a day, especially when you feel the dizziness and keep a log. If it's consistently low, then I'd give your doctor a call and ask him what he though about your dizziness.

If your blood pressure is normal and you're having difficulty with activity, then your CAD may be getting worse and you need to be re-evaluated. Again, talking to your cardiologist is the best course of action here.

I hope I have answered your question. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.
