Why does my marfan syndrome teenager complain of being giddy?

Maybe medications: The beta-blocker medications used to control a Marfan syndrome patient's blood pressure and heart rate can cause fatigue and lower blood pressure. A lower blood pressure can appear as lightheaded sensations or dizziness, especially when quickly standing up. If such a side effect seems to be happening, the patient's primary care doctor or cardiologist can re-evaluate.
