A member asked:

Could the caffeine in the excedrin and the ice tea be enough to cause me to feel dizzy?

Dr. Alvin Stein answered

Specializes in Pain Management

If sensitive to it: It is possible that caffeine can cause those symptoms in sensitive individuals. Avoid any caffeine and see if the issue goes away, . Then reintroduce it and if the problem comes back, you have your answer.
