Brief Answer:
Might be due to oscillations in blood pressure...

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,

I see. You are reporting to be recently diagnosed with high blood pressure. I assume you are also taking medications for that.

This makes me think that the dark spots appearing when you look at things is related to oscillations in blood pressure (spikes). Therefore, I advise to:
- monitor your blood pressure when you see these spots, record the results fur further evaluation by your cardiologist
- limit salt intake
- make some changes in your diet regimen
- take medications as directed by your doctor

If your blood pressure is ok, then, should consult with an ophthalmologist to rule out eye problems (especially those related to retina).

Hope it answered to your queries! Let me know if you have further questions!

Please provide the names of medications you take..

Detailed Answer:
Hi back XXXXXXX

Can you please mention the name of medications you are taking to treat high blood pressure? And if you are taking them on regular basis?

If you have stopped using them because of dizziness, weakness, and lightheadedness, this is not advised. If you started anti-hypertensive medications, your body is getting used of them to stabilize blood pressure. If you abruptly stop using them, your body will react with spikes in blood pressure.

Looking forward to have the names of your anti-hypertensive drugs in!
