Brief Answer:
Following advice

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

The headache, dizziness and nausea are related to hypertension and treating for BP will help to stabilise BP. Lowering BP will help to relieve your symptoms.

If you were my patient I would recommend to do the following examinations:
- Blood work including BUN and creatinine levels
- Cardiac echo
- Abdominal ultrasound
- Ecg

Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
