Yes, dizziness is a very common side effect seen with Sirdalud. However, if they occurred only after the drug was discontinued, they may be related, for example, to sudden discontinuation of therapy.
Sirdalud should be discontinued gradually, after consultation with your doctor. Its sudden discontinuation may result in the appearance of hypertension or tachycardia from rebound. Increased blood pressure, in turn, can cause dizziness or headache. In the meantime, it is worth measuring blood pressure on an ongoing basis and consulting a doctor, especially if the symptoms persist for longer.
If you are currently unable to contact a doctor in person, the website Gdziepolek.pl allows you to make an appointment for a teleconsultation. It is held in Polish:
