Are Feeling Dizzy And Light Headed While Finding It Difficult To Breathe Symptoms Of Hypertension?
Question: I took my blood pressure because feeling dizzy and light headed when bend over. Also having hard breathing. Machine showed 139/89 with heartrate of 52. I took it 2 times
Brief Answer:
This does not seem so bad
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
This BP and pulse are not concerning, this is mildly elevated blood pressure and just mildly decreased pulse rate. There is no need for additional medications at this point.
Your symptoms related to lightheaded may be a sign of some other issues such as low blood sugar or cervical syndrome. However hard breathing may be concerning since this is not a common symptom which occurs suddenly.
You should rest, but not lay on flat, try to have your upper body elevated. If this persists, you should see a doctor and do chest X-rays, ECG and further lab tests for evaluation.
Wish you good health.
Regards
