Could Vertigo Be Due To High BP?

Hi.....I m 45 year old male and have suffered a couple of episodes of vertigo. I checked my blood pressure which was very high and I was prescribed Sevikar and have been taking it for a few months. I suffered a vertigo attack before and after taking Sevikar....The last attack left me unable to fix my eyes on an object, I crawled to the bathroom and was sick, and sweated profusely, but didn t particularly have a headache just a feeling of pressure in my head. I was prescribed Dogmatil for 6 days... Since then, I have been taking a piece of fresh ginger every day with a meal, and haven t suffered another attack so far, but last night I awoke from a dream, with a fast heart beat and that pressure in my head again, the precursor to an attack, but as I sat up and my heart rate dropped, I was back to normal. I find laying my head on two pillows rather than one reduces the risk of this pressure build up. I have had my blood sugar levels and cholesterol checked and they are ok my blood pressure is around 145/80 but ...So do you know what the problem might be?

I suggest you to check if there is any problem in the cervical rachid, because it could be the cause
