I recently got treated with very high hypertension. It seems to be umnder control now but bp is still slightly high. When my BP went up i got dizzy. Now I have a numbness in my left temple and periodically my left arm. I have had blood tests and all is ok. I did a heart sonar ECG and 24 hour ecg all is normal. I am 55 and overweight (lost 7 kgs in the last 6 weeks 20 to go) I am 55 year old male. Any advice would be gratefull

Dear Sir,

You take blood pressure medications and you lose weight, you are on the right way. Also cut the amount of sodium if you don't do it, and it is very important to regulate your sleeping hours, working hours and rest.
If you continue to lose weight and meanwhile have blood pressure under control for a longer period, ten your dizziness will disappear, most probably numbness in temple area will disappear too, if not see a neurologist to look for another cause for the numbness.

Take care
