Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

First of all you should stay calm and relaxed because this will help you to deal with hypertension and dizziness.

Dizziness isn't related to BP issues but most likely is related to common cold complications (especially inner ear complications).

The hypertension may be related to increased cardiac output from cold.

If you were my patient I would recommend to use:
- Tylenol and advil for lowering fever and other symptoms
- Betahistin for dizzines
- Captopril tablets to stabilise BP

If the symptoms will persist you should go to ER for a prescription.

Wish you health!
Dr. Shehu
p.s: Ifyou have more questions, please don't hesitate to ask me again.
