She is he can prescribe a anti-dizziness medicine. Antivert is one drug they use for dizzy spells but it must come from the doctor. Best of luck  Wilmabc Mon, 12 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT Call your doctor immediately. It may simply be dizziness. Buit it can also be high blood pressure which is also a potential side from Sutent.  Also easily treatable but needs attention.  Best of luck. tagml Tagml Sat, 17 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT I'm just completing my 4th cycle of sutent. I started to get high blood pressure during my 3rd cycle and I got a dizy feeling anytime my blood pressure was a little high. I was also getting bad side effects that made me accept reducing my dose from the 50mg max to 37.5mg daily. I have not had high blood pressure at all during this 4th cycle.I recommend that you start measuring blood pressure and work with your doctor to check / treat any high blood pressure problems.Keith   KeithRobert Sun, 18 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT
