What Causes Dizziness While On Blood Pressure Medication?
Controlling stress/anxiety is highly advised...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concerns.
1. Taking into account your actual age (menopause), hormonal changes during this life-stage might also be triggering your symptoms.
2. It is important to stop smoking and/or stop drinking alcohol to avoid aggravation of symptoms.
3. Sinus tachycardia is a normal reaction to stress/anxiety. If you try to control stress/anxiety, can also manage tachycardia.
If I was your caring doctor would advise to:
- stop smoking
- avoid drinking alcohol
- eat healthy
- avoid caffeinated drinks
- take chamomile tea especially at bedtime
- reduce salt intake
Hope it was of help!

ECG alone doesn't exclude minor cardiac problems...
Detailed Answer:
Hi back,
As long as ECG is normal it will exclude any cardiac emergency, but it doesn't exclude any minor cardiac problem.
in order to definitely exclude cardiac problems I recommend to do:
- Cardiac ECHO
- Stress test
- Holter monitoring
- BP monitoring
If everything is normal than you shouldn't worry and it's an anxiety related problem. In such a case follow my advice.
Wish you health!

With minor cardiac problems i mean non life threatening cardiac problems..
Detailed Answer:
Hi back,
With minor cardiac problems i mean non life threatening cardiac problems like Hypertension, arrhythmia (Premature atrial or ventricular complex, heart beats, atrial fibrillation etc.), valvular anomalies (mitral valve prolaps, valvular insuficency etc.).
This problems aren't emergencies but may be in some cases may be the cause of your concerns (or may worsen your symptoms). This is why important to exclude this problems.
Wish you health!
