Hypertension Making You Dizzy?

By Christian Goodman

"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."

He explained that now and again he has been feeling suddenly woozy or unsteady. Although it normally passes quickly, this pattern seemed to be a symptom of something health related. A recent high blood pressure diagnosis also seemed more than a coincidence.

While dizziness as well as headache, blurred vision and fatigue are all symptoms of high blood pressure, my friend had none of these symtpoms until it came up in a routine physical.

What is now known is that more times than not, it is actually low blood pressue that causes the dizziness. When blood pressure drops, dizziness ensues.

Studies have shown that low blood pressue actually accounts for the dizzy feeling.

The fact that one's blood pressure drops is not so notable as how it drops. Is there a pattern of a suddend drop in pressure. Is this when the symptoms occur? This is likely an indicator of a much larger medical problem.

The main idea is to take your blood pressure readings exactly when you experience dizziness. It doesn't matter as much whether the readings are high or low. An ambulatory cuff will allow you to measure your blood pressure wherever you are.

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.

The most common type of vertigo is BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo). This is an inner ear condition which can bring about sudden dizziness when the head is moved into certain positions.

Even though my friend's doctor didn't even bother to mention that dizziness could be a side effect of his hypertension medicine, I was concerned.

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.

My friend went around and around with his doctor until he finally insisted on being put on another medication. This took care of the dizziness but not the other new set of side effects. I then recommended my drug free program.

Almost immediately my friend's blood pressure readings went down. Eventually, they returned to normal and my friend was able to get off his medication.

My High Blood Pressure program is completely natural and easy to get started. The truly amazing thing about my product is just how many thousands of people have been helped. If you suffer from dizziness or vertigo, I also recommend my Vertigo and Dizziness program!
