Yes Niranjana you are right about this. I get dehydrated from all the meds then my BP drops. It is so important to hydrate or to add electrolytes into our drinks.

Are you drinking lots of fluids in this summer heat, Collette? Please see your doctor to help determine the cause of the dizziness, ranging from dehydration to anemia to pregnancy, an inner ear problem, etc.

I have had dizziness at times related to my BP running lower than usual and mild dehydration. I hope you get to the bottom of it and get relief soon.😘

My dizziness occurs due to my low iron. Especially on hot days it gets really bad where everything goes black. Please discuss this with your Rheumatologist. I have found journaling helpful in my early days of diagnosis. This disease is so unpredictable
