Started Feeling Dizzy. Have High Blood Pressure. Any Ideas?

Any other ideas?
Thanks for the query.
Dizziness in old age is a tricky situation and there can be several causes for this.
Most common causes include
Poor vision
Hypoglycemia
Consumption of many different medications
Cervical spondylosis
Postural hypotension
Positional vertigo like Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.
If you are having any ear problems like tinnitus along with dizziness,then meniere's disease can be the cause.
If dizziness occurs because of shaking of head then,cervical spondylolysis can be the cause.
If you get dizzy on immediately getting up then,postural hypertension can be the cause.
Consumption of different medications can also cause this
Stroke can be the possibility if you feel numb or mentally confused after the spell of dizziness.
You require a thorough consultation and examination by your doctor for finding the exact cause for your dizziness.
Your blood pressure is definitely high and requires medication to control it.
I hope to have answered your query however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks.
