“What was that?” A friend of mine was startled while we stood in line for to purchase our tickets. Naturally, I asked him to elaborate on what he meant. I suddenly felt kind of dizzy.”
Since he said this was not the first time he had suddenly felt this way, we began discussing other factors. He learned that he was hypertensive a few months ago, which was also about the time he started noticing sudden dizzy spells.
Yes, dizziness, fatigue, blurry vision and headache are all symptoms of hypertension but for many people, including my friend, there are no symptoms. It took a physical for my friend to be diagnosed.
What most research has shown is that it is actually low blood pressure and not high blood pressure that causes dizziness. When blood pressure drops suddenly, dizziness is oftentimes the effect.
Research indicates that low blood pressure usually accounts for feeling dizzy.
The way in which blood pressure goes about dropping is less important than identifying that it is dropping. Dropping with a pattern of intervals unleashes the side effect, indicating a medical issue.
Purchasing an ambulatory cuff is key to being able to take readings to establish a pattern. Even more effective would be to take your blood pressure, each and every time you experience a symptom.
I thought that my friend may have vertigo (the sensation of either people and objects moving or spinning around you or that you are spinning when you aren’t). Vertigo is by definition, dizziness.
BPPV, or benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is the most common type of vertigo. This is an inner ear disorder which can cause sudden onset of dizziness depending on how one bend’s one’s ear.
Although my friend’s doctor failed to even mention dizziness as a side effect of his medication, it was, all the same, reason for concern.
Once my friend had his prescription filled, it was actually the pharmicist who went into detail about the side effects. This got my friend’s attention.
Even after repeated attempts to get his doctor to explore the possiblity that his medicine could be causing his dizziness, it wasn’t until he threatened to stop taking the medicine that his doctor finally prescribed something else. Yes, the dizziness went away but then a new set of side effects cropped up. This is how I ended up recommending my program.
My friend was feeling better immediately. He was eventually able to lower his blood pressure naturally and convince his doctor to wean him completely off the medicine.
I recommend my High Blood Pressure program for those suffering from high blood pressure. If vertigo or dizziness is your problem, I also suggest my Vertigo and Dizziness program. It’s all natural and it works!
