What Causes Dizziness While Suffering From Diabetes And Hypertension?

Hi, I am a 59 year old male with diabetes and hi blood pressure, I take medication for both. Recently I have been experiencing some random dizziness with what I can only describe as pressure in my head like being under water or up high in a plane. I have no pain anywhere with the exception of occasional head aches which are very minor and again are more pressure than pain.

Hi,

With the history of diabetes and hypertension, every single symptoms related with central nervous system like dizziness, headache, and other should be taken seriously. In my opinion, it is most advisable to get done the CT of brain, just to rule out the possibility of developing ischemia in brain.

I always advise to all my patients to maintain the plasma glucose level on tight rule basis, keep close eye on hypertension. Visit the physician on regular basis, exercise is the best to avoid the complications in both the hypertension and diabetes.

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