Suggest Treatment For High Blood Pressure And Dizziness

I am finding myself to be dizzy more and more often during the day. When I get out of bed in the morning after my first step I feel as if I am going to fall. Any movement from Lo to high causes these symptoms. Blood pressure is great. Very active person and feeling something is wrong. Last week I came close to falling. Very weird feeling in my head when this occurs.

Cannot say in your particular case. Dizziness can be from multiple causes. One is LOW blood pressure and sometimes the reading is in error especially if the cuff is the wrong size. Or if the blood pressure isn't regulated well due to dehydration, or vessels that cannot constrict to keep pressure constant with standing (often bp meds do this).
Can be from problems with blood flow to the head.
Can be from problems with balance control. Mostly this is due to a MINOR problem in the ear. There are nerves in the ear that tell the head where the head is. If there is a problem with the ear, the nerves give the wrong information to the brain which gets confused (dizzy). But can also be a problem in the brain. This is almost always with a LOT of other symptoms beside just dizziness. Often with HIGH blood pressure. Often with stroke like symptoms and/or difficulty coordinating any movements.

Yeah, it's the ear.
