How should one rescue someone experiencing dizziness upon waking up in the morning due to heart disease and high blood pressure?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello, my grandfather is 65 years old this year. My grandfather has heart disease and also high blood pressure. Grandfather often says that when he goes to bed in the morning, he often feels dizzy. I'm a bit worried, so I want to ask the doctor, for heart disease, high blood pressure, and dizziness when going to bed in the morning, how should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Your grandfather suffers from high blood pressure and heart disease. Recently, he has experienced dizziness when going to bed in the morning. It is not due to insufficient blood supply to the cerebral vessels, as high blood pressure can lead to the hardening and narrowing of cerebral blood vessels. It is recommended to revisit the local hospital's neurology department for a check-up, improve the thoroughness of the brain MRI examination, and have the doctor check for any signs of cerebral ischemia to receive timely treatment. Rest well in daily life, and avoid making sudden movements when changing positions.
