Ibrutinib and Dizziness

[Mayor44]

Does anyone on Ibrutinib else suffer from dizziness when you get up or down suddenly?

I'm not on ibrutinib but one of the side effects of the drug can be hypertension. Also can cause low platelet count.

Could be that these may be present and could cause dizziness you need to get your blood pressure checked for either hypertension or hypotension

Hope this helps

I had positional dizziness on Imbruvica (ibrutinib), you need to see your treating doctor. Mine lasted about 6 weeks, but they need to rule out other adverse side effects...

Also be very forthcoming about any supplements you are taking...

If you read the instructions for other medication you are probably taking, you might find that dizziness is a side effect.
