@jeeeemv, My transplant was 14 years ago, and I don't recall dizziness being one of my early issues. However, I do remember that I was experiencing some dizziness related to blood pressure medication several years ago. I was taking BP meds prior to my transplant, and after transplant it (lisinopril) was adjusted as needed. With my BP borderline readings, my kidney NP added a 2nd med (Amlodipine). When I began experiencing dizziness, I contacted my local primary care doctor who suggested that I try taking the 2nd medication (Amlodipine) at bedtime instead of mornings. He also lowered the dose and the dizziness has gone away! My BP is steady, and I have not had any dizziness for several years.

-These meds are working well for me. I have a liver and kidney transplant (2009) and am taking Tacrolimus and Cellcept. I hope that your client is able to find a resolution to his dizziness. In the meantime, has he considered using a walker or cane so that he can e so that he doesn't fall?
