    Dizziness after eating
    Getting dizzy after meals (like being drunk)

    75 yr old male on lisinopril, amlodopine, furosomide, potassium supp, simvastatin, warfarin, budesonide/formoterol, spiriva, 24/7 on 2 lpm oxygen.
    I've been on this combination for several years with no side effects. In the last week I've been getting dizzy, light headed after meals. Subsides over the period of an hour, don't know whether to worry about it, or enjoy it. Feels just like being drunk. What do you think? Thanks

    A few ideas, but I don't want to guess... at your age and on that many medications, it's a question for your doctor. Just call the office and tell the desk what you said here, and the doctor will decide if you need to be seen.
    Obviously don't drive after meals and avoid stairs, mowing, other activity. Take your BP during the 'drunk' period.

    Can you try a schedule of 4 meals a day consisting of smaller amounts of food.
