Patient's question:
Please have the expert take a look if it's high blood pressure, thank you. I've been having headaches and dizziness these past few days, nausea, and when walking, I feel dizzy and confused. Later, I had a blood pressure monitor at home, and I measured my blood pressure, which reached 180. I don't know if I did it right, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
Dizziness, nausea, and dry heaves are also prone to cause blood pressure fluctuations, and hypertension can also lead to dizziness and headaches. Therefore, it is necessary to clearly understand the patient's past blood pressure condition, and it is also possible to focus on monitoring blood pressure data. If blood pressure remains persistently high, it may be attributed to hypertension. The diagnostic criteria for hypertension are three non-consecutive days of blood pressure readings all below 140/90. If diagnosed with hypertension, immediate oral antihypertensive medication should be taken to alleviate symptoms.
