While Under Medication For Hypertension And Hypothyroidism, What Could Sudden Dizziness Indicate?

Hello Dr.,

I get the dizzy feeling after walking a little. I feel my body is moving towards one side and also there is pressure on my forehead , some tingling sensation. I have high B.p - 160/90 now on medications and controlled to 120/80 .Medicine is MET-XL . I was also detected with hypo thyroidism- TSH -4.6 now on thronorm- 25 mcg also hav some iron tablets -Autrin . Does these medicines have anything to do with dizzyness which did not subside even after starting throid medicines and b.p. medicines.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, autrin has nothing to do with this dizziness.
By your history and description, we should definitely rule out brain pathology like early heamorrhage, ischemia etc.
Your all symptoms like head pressure, dizziness, sensations of body moving toward one side (imbalance) etc are common symptoms of brain pathology. And hypertension is a risk factor for such diseases.
So get done MRI brain to rule out this.
If MRI is normal then no need to worry much.
Sometimes vitamin B12 deficiency can also cause similar symptoms. So also get done vitamin B12 level and if deficiency then you will need supplements.
In any case, strict control of blood pressure is needed. Strict salt restriction in diet is also needed.
Don't worry, you will be alright, but first rule out brain pathology.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
