What Causes Frequent Dizziness, Hot Flashes And Fluctuations In BP Level?

Over three months ago, I was diagnosed with vertigo, but I don t believe its vertigo because I have these dizzy spell at any given time of the day as well as heat flashes. I feel like I m going to fall. My BP reading today is 123/70, last month it was 174/80. What is wrong with me?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

I understand your concern.

There are various factors causing flunctuations in bp level including:
- narrowing of the arteries due to atherosclerosis
- age
- if you are a female, menopause can be a possible cause
- stress
- caffeinated drinks (coffee, energetic drinks, etc.)
- too little physical activity

As such flunctuation has been going on for the last couple of months, I advise to consult a cardiologist and run further cardiac tests to determine the right cause:
- ECG,
- echocardiogram
- stress test
- lipid profile testing
- diabetes testing
- kidney/liver function test

Hope it was of help!
