Suggest Medication For High BP, Pain In Carotid Artery And Dizziness
hi, I am 33 years old and recently diagnosed with high blood pressure. Before i was put on meds for this i was having problems with rapid heartbeat with very little activity, pain by cartoid artery, and dizzyness when i would kneel down and stand up or sitting and then stand.. Well after the meds for high blood pressure the same problems occur. Is there reason to be concerned?
This doesn't appear a matter of concern, the symptoms of dizziness occurs whenever one stands up BP falls a bit and causes decreased blood supply to brain, leading to dizziness. These may occur commonly in many individuals and also as a side effects of blood pressure med. Also keep monitoring your blood pressure. So in order to prevent these, you need to increase fluid intake and don't suddenly get from sleeping or sitting position, instead do it gradually. If too troublesome then you need to wear compression leg stockings.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Sagar Makode
