Thanks for responding. The GI doctor who has treated me doesn't think it is related to finishing Harvoni since it started just a week ago. Said to check with my primary GP if it continues and it may be related to something else. I am not overly concerned. I go in for 4 weeks post treatment blood tests on June 15 so will see how that plays out.

Hi Mark,
What you describe is fairly common while on treatment and during the post treatment period. While it's likely nothing serious, it's a good idea to notify your doctor, as you have. Many of us across all of the protocols have experienced it to one degree or another. I have a friend that is still having those issues after a year EOT. Fortunately that's an exception versus the norm. It takes time to get every system back on track. Give it some time and I think you'll continue to see many improvements. After SVR, we all are anxious to be "normal" again. It'll happen, don't worry!
Here's some info on treatment and dizziness in general:
Happens to me also. I just chalk it up to age as in maybe low pb or low sugar. Your doc will figure it out.
best wishes

I finished 24 weeks of Harvoni about 3 weeks ago. Muscle and joint pain is much improved and the fatigue is beginning to lift. About a week ago I noticed some dizzyness after working out and also at other times during the day. Haven't had this symptom prior to or during treatment. Has anyone experienced this? Sent a message to the doctor and waiting for a response. Thanks.
