    dizziness

    I have had a lot of dizziness and I'm just wondering if other people with Hcm experience this. My doctors told me that I should take my toprol medication at night. So I've started that but it hasn't helped. anyone else experiencing this? Thanks

    This is very common. Adjusting the time of your meds may well help you.

      Staying well hydrated may help. Be sure to drink lots of non-caffienated liquids. Caffiene can tend to act as a diuretic (increase urine output). You've probably already been told this, but a reminder can't hurt. Linda
