Side Effect of Medication
Light-headedness can be caused by medication. It's a common side effect of various kinds of medication, including blood pressure drugs, blood thinners, and some painkillers and barbiturates. Psychiatric medication may also cause light-headedness.
Light-headedness may also be caused by an interaction between two or more medications. If a person is prescribed a new medication and already takes other prescriptions, they should discuss any possible interactions with their pharmacist, especially if their medications have been prescribed by multiple doctors or specialists.
