My mother has been very dizzy for the last three months. She is a heart patient and a diabetic. She is taking six different medications. They are glyburide, tamoxifen, vasotec, coumadin, digoxin, amlodipine. She has been taking digoxin and coumadin for 24 years. She has taken tamoxifen for 4+ years. She has been taking vasotec and amlodipine for about a year. I am very concerned that she may be taking too much blood pressure medicine or that she may be taking the wrong combinations of medications. Her blood pressure was until recently averaging 145/70. It raised to 190/70 when the doctor put her on the medications. These medications lowered her blood pressure to 180/70 on average. In the past three months she has lost her b alance and fallen three times, fortunately not with any serious consequences, however, it is a dangerous situation. Any insight or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Regina
