Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM,

Understanding your concern. As per you query you are suffering from headaches, pain in arms and neck while on BP medication . Well there can be many reasons for vertigo like benign paroxysmal positional vertigo , Vertigo may also be caused by inflammation within the inner ear sometimes due to infection , meniere's disease , acoustic neuroma and multiple sclerosis . But as you mention in query about arm pain i would suggest you to consult cardiologist once also to rule out any angina or stroke like condition . Consult ENT specialist for condition like meniere's disease . Doctor may order certain test like CT scan , MRI , blood test , audiometery test , rotatory chair test and ECG to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe ant emetic drug , sedatives , antibiotics and some ear aid . Doctor may also refer you to cardiologist for heart problem or orthopedic surgeon for neck and arm pain . For now avoid bending foreword and drink green tea thrice a day .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
