Completed RT, now continuing HT but getting random nausea / dizzy spells

Hello GaryW 

All the different Hormone Therapy drugs give rise to different side effects. Nausea IS on the list of side effects from Prostap - see this link Prostap Patient Information Leaflet (PIL).

IF this side effect continues you need to contact your GP who may consider changes to your medication.

Best wishes - Brian.

May be coincidence....but.............

I finished my RT at the end of Nov, have my first follow up in a fortnight. About 10 days after I finished my RT I had a really bad attack of vertigo, I was laid low for several days. My GP prescribed some Prochloroperazine tablets, which did work well. They are available without a prescription at half strength...........take 2 ???   Ask the chemist.   I have quite a few left over, use by date is Jan '27, so am hanging on to them !  

Hi GaryW

I presume that you're the same GaryW who posted re Tamsulosin last autumn?

Good news so far on your treatment by the looks.

Are you still on Tamsulosin? If so, could your dizzy spells be caused by low blood pressure, one of its side-effects?

I experience these random events occasionally and tend to blame the medication - Zoladex HT or Tamsulosin in my case which I now take every other day, only because my Consultant advised me to carry on with it when I had my 12 week assessment in December.

Hi BitOrange , we are not medically trained so I suggest you talk to your PCa specialist nurse or GP.  Meanwhile it might be worth taking your blood pressure daily and recording what it is.  Sit with your legs uncrossed and take 3-6 readings and record the lowest.  Hope this helps.  David

Thanks for the comment, David.
