Members responded to concerns about dizziness while taking Sildenafil, with many agreeing that dizziness is often a symptom of pulmonary arterial hypertension itself rather than solely a medication side effect. Several members shared practical strategies for managing symptoms, including sitting down and taking deep breaths during dizzy spells, getting blood pressure properly controlled to reduce headaches, and using medications like Topamax or Tylenol for persistent headache relief. A recurring theme was patience and hope, with members noting that side effects like headaches often improve over time, and offering encouragement through faith and taking things one day at a time.

I had horrible headaches until they got my blood pressure under control. Now headaches are gone. I take sildenafil and have had no side effects. I think the dizziness is part of the disease also. Hope you feel better
