How To Treat Light Headed With Severe Headache And Elevated BP( 145/98)?
I have been feeling light headed and unable to concentrate with severe headaches for about a week. I have also noticed my blood pressure creeping up over the last few days, I am normally a healthy 115/75 but recent readings have been 145/98. What should I do?

Dear sir
Light headedness might occur due to sudden decrease in the blood pressure which might be due to medicines or some times physiological.
or
sudden drop in the heart rate might also cause light headedness and some times syndope.
Even when the systolic blood pressures goes up then you feel giddiness and fainting sensation
So check your blood pressure properly for atleast three times a day and review.
Thanks
