Increased bleeding is the most common side effect of blood thinners, and due to this, another possible side effect is dizziness due to an individual's blood cell count dropping below a healthy average. Individuals experiencing dizziness due to their blood thinners may also be at risk of anemia, which can come with other symptoms such as fatigue and shortness of breath. Those who experience dizziness when taking blood thinners should speak to their doctor, who will likely do a blood test to check for potential deficiencies resulting from increased bleeding. Doctors may adjust a patient's blood-thinning medication to help deal with this issue, or add other supplements to help counteract its effects. This includes iron, which is lost when individuals bleed, and when levels are low, can cause dizziness.
