Patient's question:
Two years ago, my mother was diagnosed with high blood pressure. She usually takes her medication on time and maintains a relatively healthy diet. However, recently she has been experiencing dizziness. I would like to ask how high blood pressure can cause dizziness and what to do about it?Doctor's answer:
Patients with hypertension should engage in more physical exercise in daily life, such as walking. After walking, diastolic blood pressure will rise significantly, and symptoms will also help stabilize. Dizziness caused by hypertension generally improves when blood pressure drops. It is still important to actively lower blood pressure. It is recommended to have a thorough examination at the hospital to determine whether the hypertension is primary or secondary. Generally, the underlying cause that leads to secondary hypertension will heal on its own, resulting in a decrease in blood pressure. Hypertension can be effectively treated to control blood pressure within the normal range.
