What's with the dizziness?

I had another bout of dizziness or light-headedness after the workout. During the workout I felt just fine. In fact, I marvelled at how well I was getting back into walking/running regularly.

Two of the three medications I take, diltiazem in the morning to prevent arrhythmia and perindopril at night to control hypertension, list dizziness and light-headedness as side effects.

When I see my physician in a couple of weeks for refills, I'll bring this up, and ask him to schedule the stress test we talked about last time I saw him. I haven't had a stress test for five years or more.

Whatever it is, it's not BP related as this morning I was 134/84 and tonight I'm 133/77.

Walk/Run 25 mins
