What are the causes of high blood pressure?

Patient's question:

I am a patient with high blood pressure. Recently, I have been experiencing frequent dizziness, and my heart rate is a bit fast, ranging from 104 to 108 beats per minute. I would like to ask you what could be the reason for this.

Doctor's answer:

Based on the situation you have described, it is more likely that the clinical manifestations are caused by high blood pressure and tachycardia. It is recommended that you visit a professional cardiology department for a clear diagnosis. First, a thorough 24-hour Holter monitoring should be conducted. If the heart rate returns to normal, the blood pressure should be adjusted with medication to avoid it becoming excessively high. Given the high heart rate, it is advisable to check your thyroid function to rule out hyperthyroidism.
