Suggest Treatment For High BP And Dizziness

default
Posted on Mon, 13 Mar 2017
Question: Today I carried a full five gallon bucket 30 feet and up 3 steps I got lightheaded. I sat for a bit and was ok. Then I did a bit of light work and got dizzy again and had to lie down. I have high blood pressure soon medicated. Also for breakfast I had less sugar foods than normal. I may have undiagnosed diabetes or heart problem I just had an ultrasound of all my organs and all are up to spec. My blood is good, colesteral borderline. Any Ideas.

Detailed Answer:
Hi there

Thanks for the query

Usually stressful activities which can include physical activity can be a large load to take if you are hypertensive.

It can have a heavy effect on your system. If you did experience sweating and palpitations then it could mean your blood sugar was probably low.

It is best to get regular health check up and keep yourself fit with the required medication to maintain normal values.

Do regular brisk walking exercise for 45 minutes such will improve your stamina. Avoid junk food, oily food, smoking and alcohol. These can reduce your stamina and decrease your work performance. Keep well hydrated. Get a good nights sleep.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
