I did have a stroke last December. I feel Lightheaded all the time. The stroke did not affect the area of the brain that would cause dizziness. Any insights you have to offer me? I am on Eliquis(apixaben) and Metopolol.

How is your blood pressure? Low blood pressure can make you light headed.
Daisaku, about your stroke, was it a blockage or a bleed? The reason I ask is because AF of course can cause a blockage stroke (I had a clot damage my occipital region) and anti-coagulants can cause bleeds. Lastly, I use atenolol for HBP and rate control and experience light headedness when standing up. Annoying, but passes quickly.
