What Causes Blurred Vision And Dizziness When Suffering From High BP?

I just went to the doctors and my blood pressure was 180 over 94. They waited about 1/2 and checked it again, it came down slightly. They wanted me to go to the hospital, I have no history of high BP. When I go to Fam. Phys. it is normally 120 over 70. I am a 43 year old female. What should I do, eyes are blurry, feel chilled and dizzy

Hi Welcome to Health care magic.
I understand your query and concern.
You certainly seem to have uncontrolled blood pressure.This warrants further investigation in the form of renal angiogram,since resistant hypertension to more than 2 drugs points to secondary hypertension.Its always safe to maintain blood pressure under 125/80 mm of hg.CHF revealed on echo needs correction with drugs like dopamine and dobutamine along with diuretics.This should keep you BP under strict control.Restrict the intake of salt to less than 6 gm/day.Repair of renal artery stenosis with stent will help to cure the disease.I advise you to have a baseline 2D echo and ECG on semiannual basis for better cardiac assessment.Consult an expert cardiologist for further help.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
