How To Treat Dizziness Due To High BP?

I am a 59 year old male. I was at work sitting and training someone when I broke out in a sweat, went really pale & felt dizzy. Slept from 6:00 pm yesterday till I got up for work today. After 4 hours at work today, I'm going home. Feel really foggy. I am 5'9" and weight 180 lbs. Little high blood pressure. Dad died of cerebral hemorrhage at 43. got a cortizone shot yesterday in shoulder.

Hi,
Thanks for writing to Health Care Magic, I am Dr Asad Riaz, I have closely read your question and I understand your concerns, I will hereby guide you regarding your health related problem.
dizziness can be cause by many things either low BP , cardio pathology , cns pathology etc .. if u were mine patient I would like to run some test to rule out that it is not due to cardiac cause Bcs in case of arrhythmia (heart rate prob) can cause dizziness .. I would like to u to check ur BP at home for atleast 3-4 days twice a day n then prescribe med if ur BP is really high.. low BP can also causes dizzines ...so I would done through exam so I can find what really causing dizzines n Tx it accordingly ..
I hope this answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask.

Regards.
