Suggest Remedies For Vertigo After Starting BP Medications

Explained
Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome
I appreciate your concern
Blood pressure medication usually require 6 weeks for optimal control when used regularly. Though the antihypertensive effect starts on day one but adequate normalization requires at least 6 weeks. If the BP is persistently high with evidence of end organ damage or a TIA then hospital admission should be considered. Hydralazine, labetalol or nitroglycerine are in hospital medication used to control very high BP. For the vertigo , further assessment is needed to determine whether its due to a central or peripheral cause and managed accordingly. The surges need to be monitored for by doing home blood pressure monitoring e.g 3 readings a day and assessing the titration of BP meds dose accordingly.
Wishing you best of health
Thanks
