What Causes Dizziness While On Medication For Blood Pressure And Thyroid?

I have vertigo from an inner problem and I wear hearing aids. I have high blood pressure and am taking 100 mg's of Losartan. In the last several months I have experience severe dizziness when I do a lot of work on the computer, read, rocking in a rocking chair, even when I am eating. The only medication I take is this blood pressure medication and a thyroid medication. I need to find an answer to this problem because it is affecting my work. I am so tried of being so dizzy and the room spins and I can get phyically sick. HELP!

Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

I carefully passed through your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to different causes:

1- inner ear disorder
2- thyroid dysfunction
3- orthostatic hypotension.
4- cervical spine chronic degenerations

For this reason, I recommend consulting with your attending physician and performing some tests:

- complete blood count for anemia
- thyroid hormone levels
- a cervical spine X ray study
- labyrinthine tests performed by the ENT specialist.
- a Head Up Tilt test if suspicions of orthostatic hypotension are raised.

Meanwhile, I would recommend taking cinnarizine.

You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
