Contact your doctor immediately if your dizziness is severe or accompanied by other symptoms. This includes fainting, vision changes, difficulty breathing, or chest pain. These could indicate a more serious condition requiring immediate medical care.
Persistent or Worsening Dizziness
Seek medical attention if dizziness persists for more than a few days, or if it worsens despite discontinuing Finasteride. Consistent dizziness significantly impacting your daily life warrants a doctor’s evaluation.
Other Concerning Symptoms
Report any new or worsening symptoms alongside dizziness, such as:
| Headache | Severe, persistent, or unusual headaches. |
| Hearing Loss | Changes in hearing, ringing in the ears (tinnitus). |
| Numbness or Tingling | Numbness or tingling in extremities. |
| Seizures | Convulsions or loss of consciousness. |
These symptoms, in conjunction with dizziness, could indicate a serious underlying medical issue and require prompt medical evaluation. Don’t hesitate to seek help if you experience any of these.
When to Discontinue Finasteride
While your doctor should guide you, if dizziness is intolerable and significantly impacts your quality of life, discuss the possibility of discontinuing Finasteride with them. They can help you manage any withdrawal symptoms and explore alternative treatments.
