Hi, @4720retire You have gotten some good responses to your question. I think dizziness/light-headedness plagues many of us as we age. My sister's PCP told her to drink a couple of glasses of water when she gets up each morning and she is finding that does help.
A couple of years ago I was having a lot of light-headedness in the morning, enough so that there was no way I would drive until it passed. I very inadvertently discovered it was an uncommon side effect of a topical medication I was using. I stopped using it and the light-headedness went away. I very rarely have it now and if I do I find it is when I have not had enough sleep.
I hope you can find a solution to yours. It could be something very simple. Our bodies are much more sensitive to things as we age I think.

.... glad it was discovered it was a side effect; I am one of those who read the info with the meds and cannot believe the long list of side effects possible; even my glaucoma drops, one of the side effects is Sinusitis believe it or not and it took a year or so but then got chronic Sinus problems never had before and streams out.... but I cannot stop using the drops - even the other five or so types of glaucoma drops, not just brands, but different ingredients, all have side effects, who knew an eye drop could cause problems with our bodies...

Thanks for sharing your experience. Taking water first thing in the morning at times relief me. And a good rest. But the situation is for awhole. I am relief more when I take ORT. The dizziness and the spine pain usually transcend to low blood pressure. The spine pain brings discomfort also at sitting position. Most often I take pain relief ( PCM). The ORS and PCM is what is presently relieving me of these experience. I hope to also try water therapy to see the impact it will have.

I appreciate all the comments. I've scheduled an appointment with a different neurologist. Don't know if it will help but worth a shot.
