Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have high blood pressure and since yesterday I ve been experiencing this severe dizziness where the entire room is spinning. Whenever I try to get up straight I feel really dizzy and I can t stand up.. Dizzy to the point where I feel like I m about to pass out. I measured my blood pressure already and it s high but out of the ordinary.
Hi welcome to HCM. Elevated blood pressure presenting with symptoms like dizziness should be promptly treated and reduced.A baseline EKG and a screening 2 dimensional echo of the heart can provide vital clues to the overall management.Treatment consists of reduced intake of salt less than 5gm/day.Drugs like Beta blockers and Ace inhibitors can be used as once or twice daily basis.Regular physical activity can control the blood pressure.Consult your cardiologist for further queries.
