Vertigo

[xpbdb]

For the last week or so I have been having mini flashes of vertigo. No more than a few seconds. Been on ADT for 18 months (Firmagon then Lupron). Started Xtandi 8 months ago. I know Xtandi can cause seizures, but I think that would have shown up before now. Still working at 68 yo and in good health as far as my doctors and I know. It doesn't happen often, but often enough to notice. My PSA has been creeping up and my MO says we may go to Abiraterone, which I believe doesn't have the seizure risk.

Thanks. I do have a wrist monitor at home and work. I get another Lupron shot in my butt this afternoon. I will mention it to my urologist.

Could be unrelated to meds, too. I have had a few episodes over the past decade (my 50s), as have a few other "aging" friends, and all seemed to be inner-ear related. So don't ignore that possibility.

Ready to try Abiraterone. I had dizziness and vertigo while on double adt . Luckily it has stopped. Good luck getting away from it 🤙🏽

My diastolic bp went down to 45 on Flowmax.... 65 after dropping it.

The etiology of vertigo varies but symptomatology involves “room spinning” usually associated with changes in head positioning or body position changes along with it . Most common reason is BPPV although Labyrinthitis is another Dizziness or lightheaded does not not typically involve room spinning ( which involves eye movements which at times can be seen by another known as nystagmus) . Should be diagnosed by MD to R/O other causes

I always knew I was an athlete. I just never discovered what kind. The older I get the better I was. As I recall......😁
