Hello doctor,
I am a 42-year-old male. I am having a problem with hypertension. My blood pressure measure 146/103 and 145/90 in the morning. I also have some issues with dizziness.
I am currently on Amlodac 2.5 mg for the past two days.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
According to your statement, you have been suffering from dizziness for the last few days. Your recent blood pressure is above normal. Your dizziness may result from high blood pressure. So controlling blood pressure may subside vertigo. As you have already have started the antihypertensive drug Amlodac, you do not need any additional medication. Carry on your present medicines. It will take 15-30 days to control your blood pressure. So monitor your blood pressure routinely.
Again, changes in blood sugar levels may also cause vertigo. So monitor your blood sugar levels and do as needful according to the reports. If your current antihypertensive medication failed to control your blood pressure within one month, then consult your prescribing doctor promptly to adjust the dose or add additional medications.
Thank you doctor,
Please let me know the form of test needed or other medication as I have not consulted any doctor. The only doctor I consulted was a dental surgeon, and he prescribes it during a dental extractions process.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Before start taking any medication, you should consult your doctor. Do not stop taking any medication without consulting your doctor. As you have already started to take antihypertensive medication, you should carry on this medication. Monitor your blood pressure routinely and keep daily records.
For blood pressure, you should consult a doctor to adjust your antihypertensive medication. You can do RBS (random blood sugar) test to exclude vertigo.
After watching the average pressure of 7-10 days, antihypertensive medications should be added or change the dose of current antihypertensive medications.
I hope this helps.
