What Is The Cause Of Dizziness?

Hi , I have been diagnosed with ventricular tachycardia and hypertrophied cardiomyopathy. I have been taking prolomet xl 50mg. This has given me lightheadedness and ysterday while talking a walk i was feeling a little dizzy. Is this because of the medication or is my condition worsening?

Cardiologist,  's  Response
I would still put is at transient arrhythmia because of Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. I would strongly recommend you to get a 24 hour holter, may keep it for a 2 days, and based on that report titrate the dose of prolomet.
