What Causes Dizziness, Headache And High Blood Pressure?

Hi, I ve been feeling dizzy and having headaches the past few days, I checked my blood pressure about 20 minutes ago and it was 157/113. I do take hydrochlorithazide for my bp, however it s never been quite that high. Is this cause for immediate concern?

Hi,

Based on the history you seem to have developed uncontrolled hypertension which is really a matter of concern.

I advise you to consult your doctor for further evaluation and some routine lab tests followed by addition of another medicine like amlodipine or losartan to control your high blood pressure.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali
