Question: Brief Answer:
I would recommend as follows:
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
I've gone through your question carefully...
I would recommend that considering your actual symptoms and past medical history, you should be getting a provocative stress cardiac imaging test (cardiac stress echo, stress cardiac magnetic resonance)to investigate for underlying cardiac ischemia.
I agree with your doctor changes in your therapy in order to help manage high blood pressure better. taking daily baby aspirin is necessary too.
Regarding dizziness, in case it persists even after controlling high blood pressure, I would recommend performing a Doppler ultrasound of the carotid and vertebral arteries.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
