What Causes High Blood Pressure, Blind Spots In Eye And Loss Of Coordination?

I am a 44 year old female who has had trouble with high blood pressure for quite some time, taking it seriously only recently (very stupid, i know). By high i mean the systolic was always above 180 and sometimes above 200; diastolic was always above 100, a few times even as high as 129. My heart is enlarged and they say that a valve in my heart is leaking, which i've been assured is normal. I'm being tried on several different medicines. About a month ago i started seeing small blind spots in my left eye, then started loosing coordination, lower left part of my jaw would feel kind of numb, my left arm and hand tingles alot lately, i'm confused the majority of the time, and at times when i talk my words get jumbled. I think i'm either having TIA's or have had at least one. I'm also tired all the time, only wanting to sleep, and the slightest exertion wears me out! what could be wrong with me?

yes there is a high chance of you having a TIA . pls get an MRI brain done as soon as possible. I hope you have now started taking antihypertensive medications. your condition needs to be addressed as it may lead to permanent paralysis or other motor disorders
