What Causes High BP, Dizziness And Fatigue?
I have really high blood pressure lately, dizziness and fatigue. Most recently I have a sensation in my leg that is painful to the skin touch.. also , once in a while I will get a pulsating pain that lasts for just a minute. Yesterday as I was sitting at my desk, I had a heat sensation in my back and then i broke out in a sweat. What might be going on?

Hello ,
High blood pressure per say may cause the symptoms of headache , dizziness and fatigue .
Treatment of hypertension with lifestyle change or medication such that the blood pressure reading is below 140 mg / 90 mg should be the priority here .
Also if you are more than 45 years old , obese ,smoke or have other risk factors , an cardiac evaluation by doing a and ECG and If needed and 2d Echo and TMT should be considered. However again the sweating episode can still be due to fluctuation in BP .
Hopefully I could help
Regards Dr. Mody
