Hi All

I was admitted to A&E last Wednesday night and was diagnosed as having Type 2 Diabetes. I was discharged the next day (Thursday), along with a prescription for Metformin 500mg.

I then went to the GP (Friday evening) for a follow-up consultation and she prescribed:
Simvastatin 40mg
Ramipril 1.25mg (I think)

Since Thursday, I have constantly felt dizzy and giddy.

I have no pain anywhere...

Any comments?

Cheers

Cliff
 
Hi Cliff

I am on Ramipril, and they did make me dizzy at times so it could be this, if your blood pressure has been running on high for a while, the Ramilpril will bring it down, which could bring on the dizzy spells. I cant be certain obviously, but its similar to what happened to me, especially if I was sat down and suddenly got up.
 
Hi

Thanks for your replies so far...

I've just spoken with another doctor who has said I shouldn't be feeling dizzy/giddy and has advised that I stop taking the Simvastatin for a week and see what happens...

So I shall wait...

Thanks again.
