I'm having dizziness since I've had PMR. Is it relaled?

I was having some dizziness which seemed to be worse with coffee. I gave up caffeine a couple months back and I feel better. Sadly miss my coffee and the decaf just did not have the same vibe. Cheers.

I think that the dizziness could be contributed by any number of things. I’m not a coffee drinker but have had dizziness since I started taking Prednisone. My rheumatologist and cardiologist each recommended various test (including reviewing and reassessing my blood pressure medication) to insure that it was not the culprit but the dizziness did not dissipate. I did notice that it is slightly improved as I taper my Prednisone. Unfortunately, I have had to stall my Prednisone taper and add a biologic because I have had significant pain with my Prednisone tapering. Hopefully, we can all move through active PMR soon. Blessings!! ❤️

I have tapered from 30 to 1.5 in the past 15 months. Occasional dizziness between 10 and 7 or 8, none below 7. Always have had 2 cups of regular coffee in the AM. I do not believe the occasional dizziness was related to the coffee at all. Good luck.
