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.

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.

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.
