Is Blood Pressure Of 138/80 A Cause For Concern?
My husband has experienced dizziness and slightly blurred vision for about 4 hours today. He came home and took his BP and it was 138 over 80. He is on BP meds and have been taking them. He s laying down now. I asked if there was a chance he could have water in his middle ear. He claims no but I never rule that out. Thoughts?

Hello,
His blood pressure is under control and no need to worry about that.
But the dizziness and blurred vision should not be neglected. His ophthalmoscopy eye examination and Otological examination should be done to find the underlying cause.
According to cause specific treatment given.
You should consult a nearby physician for detailed evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
