Can A BP Reading Of 130/90 Cause Dizziness?

hello, I have been getting dizzy between 3 to 5 minutes in the last several days. I recently bought a blood pressure monitor and it seems that I am not feeling well and getting dizzy when my blood pressure rises above 130/90 and pulse increases to about 90-100. My blood pressure is in the normal range when I am laying down. Is there something wrong with me.

Hello,
Its highly unlikely for this bp to cause dizziness. Other cause if dizziness should be considered in you like from ears, neck.
Many times, they originate from internal ear, which is a common cause of dizziness . This occurs due to age related changes leading to abnormalities in balancing system of ear which leads to this. Do they get aggravated with head movements or associated with imbalance, hearing problem, if yes they further support the cause or even without these also.
The treatment, is medicine like Vertin 16 mg upto three times a, if not responding then tab Vertigon 25 mg upto three times a day. Also, ent specialist will teach exercises for this which can be done at home.
Do you also have neck pain, tingling, burning sensation in arms, if yes they are likely originating from neck.
Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts or if have more information to share.
