Suggest Treatment For High BP, Dizziness And Hot Flashes

Spikes in blood pressure&low blood sugar levels to rule out...
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concerns.
Your case:
- 59 years old male
- personal history of pulmonary heart failure (2 years ago); stent placed (6 months ago); high blood pressure (over 10 years) currently treated with losartan potassium 25 mg twice daily
- already weaned off statins due to muscle problems
- current symptoms: headache in the evenings especially around left temple area
Now, taking into account your personal history of high blood pressure (bp), before running into final conclusions, I want to rule out spikes in blood pressure. Please measure your bp daily and especially when headache starts, record the results for future reference.
Perhaps you might need to adjust the dosage of losartan or add any other medication.
Next, get your blood sugar levels checked too to rule out hypoglycemia (low levels). Have your meals regularly, do not skip any; have small and frequent meals.
Keep well hydrated with drinking lots of water. Be careful with salt in your diet (do not overpass).
Let me know the results of your blood pressure measurement for a more specific advice.
