Suggest Remedies For High BP And Headaches
Hi,
I am on blood pressure tablets and my reading is still usually high 157/107; I am pre-menopausal and in quite a stressful job; I have noticed recently that I am getting increasingly more hot sweats, irratibility; tension headaches and unable to sleep well. I wonder if this is a mixture of all things going on in my body, blood pressure, stress and menopause; I generally feel tired, nausea's and am having bouts of dizzy spells in the office especially. Do you think I should see my GP?

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to the hormonal changes that are occurring in your body. Your actual blood pressure values are high. For this reason, it would be necessary making some changes to your actual therapy (increase the doses or adding new drugs) in order to have better control of your blood pressure values.
Regarding your dizzy spells, I would recommend performing a cervical spine x-ray study to investigate for chronic degenerations of the spine that may trigger this clinical situation and consulting with an ENT specialist to investigate for an inner ear disorder.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka
