Suggest Treatment For Hypertension And Dizziness
Hi my mother's bp is 136(SYS) 90(DIA) 74(PUL) and whenever she lies down and changes her position in her sleep she gets dizzy, which is the right side. She has a habit of freaking out, and she usually has high bp, but when eating her medicine its ok. Please Help. Lastly, she is 53 years old
Thanks

HELLO,
b.p of 136/90 in a 53 year old after medication is considered to be normal. 140/90 can be taken as the cut off range.
she is having a condition called benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.
please take tab vertin 16mg twice daily for ten days.
an ear,nose,throat specialist should be consulted to rule out any ear pathologies.
the doctor might suggest you some exercises called epleys manouver for longe term management.
continue using the medication for high blood pressure and get it monitored once a month.
