    Why not go see your doctor?

    Probably the best idea.

    I am having this same problem and started to get a little worried; it's been about 3 weeks now. Then I remembered I started getting dizzy right after I refilled my blood pressure medicine, and the pharmacy had changed owners. I've been taking blood pressure medicine for 35 years and never had an issue with it. But today I looked at the bottle, and yes, it says it may cause dizziness. It's probably not a coincidence. I still feel lightheaded on occasion, but I feel much better knowing there's a reason.

    For the OP, is there any medication, prescribed or OTC, that you used over the past three days? I hope you stop feeling dizzy soon.

    Just a note here for if you are losing weight ...

    It's not uncommon after losing some weight for your BP to come down. For some, it's rather precipitous even without a great deal of weight lost. Please make sure your dizziness is due to a side effect and not because your BP is dropping too low and you need to adjust your dosage. It can be dangerous if you need to and don't realize.

    If it's not a medical problem, is it possible you're not getting enough filling foods, like fruit, veggies, protein, whole grain, healthy fat? I eat a little less than that most days while exercising (350-600 calorie burn) and have never felt dizzy.
