What Causes High Blood Pressure , Vomiting And Dizziness?
my husbands blood pressure spiked to 222/100something. He also vomited & was dizzy. Doc said he had low sodium & was dehydrated. Put him on nifedipine 30 mg. Told him to drink water to hydrate himself.. Is this wise if his sodium is really low? Can not see family doctor for another week

Hi. That would not explain the accelerated hypertension he had. Monitor his sodium levels. Continued nifedepine. Take care.
