Hi,

Thanks for posting your query.

The reason for dizziness in your case could be:

1. Fluctuations in blood pressure
2. Some form of anxiety, physical or mental stress
3. Some problem with circulation in brain-seems to be less likely as you do not have any other problem.

Your doctor had rightly added a drug as your blood pressure was not under control. I do not thing there is any reason for concern at present.

Concor 5 is a good and well tolerated drug and normally it not having major side effects. While treating hypertension the doctors have choice of either increasing the dose of current drugs or adds the drug from another group. Which your doctor has done.

Just keep regular follow up with your doctor and keep a blood pressure record. With time you should be fine in couple of days.

At any age blood pressure has be controlled. Continue taking medicines as advised.

General advice: as you are having hypertension please discuss with your doctor about routine annual blood tests like for cholesterol, kidney function, eye examination etc.

This needs to be done on regular basis.

I hope this helps.

Wishing you good health.

Regards,

Hi,

Good to hear from you again.

There are many reasons for high blood pressure in general.

1.Family history
2.Stress
3.Improper life style
etc.

You are right,but healthy life style is one way to control blood pressure and avoid complications.

Continue good work and at the same time please go for routine examination on regular basis.
