dizziness - tamoxifen

Hi all... Just wanting some advice/comments/experiences... I am in about month 3 of Tamoxifen and the dizziness is getting worse.  To the point of nearly passing out yesterday when I got up from the ground.  Then at yoga nearly passed out again... My local nurse took my blood pressure today and that seems fine.... Has anyone else experienced this?  For my mental health and wellbeing I cannot give up yoga...

oh, the joyful side effects continue!

    Comcast912,  your comments are very unhelpful.  I have lodged a complaint.

    Thanks Deanne,

    Funny you should mention cramps.  I have had toe and leg cramps.  My sister in law is a naturopath so I asked her to get me a big tub of magnesium... I am going to the Doc tomorrow to talk about the dizziness cos it can actually be dangerous, in that I could pass out and hurt myself.  And being a solo mum with my young daughter around that wouldn't be too good.  

    Thanks for the magnesium deficiency and dizziness link...
