    How are you Angie?  Better?

    Aw, you guys are so sweet.  I

    Aw, you guys are so sweet.  I am sorry I worried you.  Apparently, by my taking my 2 bp medicines and not taking them at approx. the same time everyday, it was dropping my bp too low, or, too low for me and that was the reason they are saying I got dizzy.  So, I am on only one bp med now and I take it at night only.  So far so good!

    Hugs, Angie

    It is true that with some

    It is true that with some meds, you need to take them close to the same time.  I guess bp meds are one of them.  I am just glad that you're ok Angie.

    I was having

    I was having a imbalance problem.I would stoop down and had a hard time getting up.Lightheaded.It went on for a month then stopped.I felt like I was seeing stars. I have no idea why but all seems fine now.I was having a headaches at the time but not now. The Headaches passed.

    Last year when a lady almost hit us and my husband swerved and he almost tipped the car. My neck hurt then but for many years it's hurt. I've had 6 whiplashes.People hit me from behind. 

    If mine would have continued I would go to the doctor but feeling much better now.it was scary at the time.

    I have had this happen, but, I think it was truly because I just got up way too fast, as, I felt fine once I stood up and got my bearings.  But, it was kind of like wow, what is happening. 

    Yours could be something else though, you said you had high blood pressure.  Maybe your meds need changed.

    Talk to your onco or your gp.  Good luck!

    It sounds like you've got

    It sounds like you've got this solved and I am happy for you.  I also had some dizziness and found that I needed my blood pressure medication changed.  I haven't had a problem since then.

    I don't know if this would help anyone, and, you should ask your doctor, but, have you tried Meclizine HCI?  It is for motion sickness and dizziness.  It is an over the counter med.

    I can't imagine how scared

    I can't imagine how scared you must have been, well anyone that would feel like this.  Looks like your doctor has it under control for you now and I pray you continue to do well.  No more dizzy spells!

    I have felt this way too:

    I have felt this way too: when it is too hot out, after chemo, when I am very stressed, etc.. It is not often.

    I am glad yours went away, which is usually a good sign.  Stay well please.

    Yes, always let your doctor

    Yes, always let your doctor know if you experience dizziness as it can be a sign of something serious, and, especially if you have blood pressure problems.  I hope that by now Angie, you're doing great.

    No, I've never heard of that

    No, I've never heard of that Nana Sue.  I might check with my doctor the next time I see him and see what he says. Thanks for letting me know about it.

    Lovebabyjesus, if it is hot

    Lovebabyjesus, if it is hot out and you feel or have felt this way, it could be a heat stroke, so, be very careful. I have a girlfriend that had a heat stroke and she has to very, very careful now when she is out in the heat.

    I was told to take my bp meds

    I was told to take my bp meds at night as most heart attacks happen at night or in the early morning hours.
