Suggest Treatment For High Blood Pressure And Nausea

I have been nauseous and have been lethargic for 3 weeks now. My blood pressure is normally low but has been spiking to 150/108 or so on and off all week. I feel almost like I have the flu but never actually get sick. I have Dr. Apt set but it takes weeks for me to see her. Had a sinus infection and have been on antibiotics for week in a half. Would this cause all of these symptoms?

Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms could be related to inflammation or an infection.

The sinus infection could partially explain some of your symptoms.

I recommend consulting with your GP for a careful physical exam and some blood lab tests:

-complete blood count
-PCR, sedimentation rate
-kidney and liver function tests
-fasting glucose
-blood electrolytes

A sinus X ray study coupled with a sinus discharge bacterial culture would examine better your sinuses.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Best wishes,

Dr. Iliri
