Suggest Remedy For Sudden Dizziness
I have been feeling quite dizzy for the past three days, even when I'm lying down at times. My blood pressure has been in the 150/90 range. For many years, I've been taking 5mg of Altace, and have decided to take it twice a day, starting yesterday. BP is not reduced. I am female and 66 years old.

Hi
Thanks for your query
Based on your query, my opinion is
1. Dizziness could be due to hypotension, as you have increased the dose of antihypertensives.
2. It could be due to hypoglycemia. skipping meals/ eating less/ loss of appetite may be some of the reasons.
3. Ear problems can also cause dizziness. If you have ringing sensation in ears/ hearing loss consult your doctor for further measures.
4. Besides taking the prescribed medications, be regular with your diet.
Hope this helps
Regards
