Hi ,

Thanks for the Query.

I Would like to Know few more things which would help me in suggesting you better:

1.) What is your Height and weight?
2.) Is this the first time you had experienced this?
3.) Does Dizziness increase when you move your Head?

Your History most probably suggests you have Stage 1 Hypertension(blood pressure), Tachycardia (Increased Heart Rate) and Palpitation, but it has to be confirmed. Kindly get yourself examined by a Cardiologist so that he/she may examine and suggest few tests like,

1.) Complete Blood Count
2.) Urinalysis
3.) Testing your Blood Pressure regularly
4.) EKG

Also get a Second Opinion from a ENT Specialist to rule out Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) or Meniere's Disease.

Once confirmed, the treatment will depend upon the cause, you will require anti hypertension medications. Your treating Doctor will know better.

Bring in some lifestyle changes:

1.) Sit or lie down immediately if you feel Dizzy
2.) Avoid operating a Machinery or driving a Car
3.) Avoid smoking, coffee, alcoholism as they may aggravate your symptoms
4.) Limit your salt intake to less than 2000mg per day
5.) Avoid stress, practice relaxation techniques like yoga and Meditation
6.) Exercise regularly for an hour and maintain a Healthy weight.
7.) Avoid high calorie, salty processed foods
8.) Get adequate rest
9.) Stick to your treatment plan and go for regular follow up.

Hope I have answered your Query, I will be available to answer your follow up Queries.

Wish you Good Health.

Take Care.
