Hello dear,

Given the medical history that your blood pressure was recorded at 145/95 and you are not taking any medicine for the same, it can be attributed as a reason for your symptoms.

Other causes may be:
1. Any pathology in the vestibular apparatus in inner ear (it is associated with maintenance of body posture & balance)
2. Decrease in blood sugar levels (Hypoglycemia)
3. Deficiency of certain nutrients like Iron, Vitamin B 12, Calcium, etc. which interferes with blood formation & nerve conduction.

Symptomatic relief can be obtained with Vestibular sedatives.
In addition, you can take nervigenic agents (like Vit B6, B12, Folic acid).
Investigations like complete blood count, estimation of blood pressure (24 hr ambulatory BP monitoring), blood sugar levels and vestibular function tests will be helpful in clinching the diagnosis.

Meanwhile, maintain adequate hydration, take a healthy balanced diet & avoid sudden head movements.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
