Can Slightly Elevated BP Cause Dizziness When Other Parameters Are Normal?
I left work today because I was dizzy...still am. I have no idea what the cause could be. My B/P was slightly elevated, pulse 59, my blood sugar was 98 (I am not diabetic) and everything else was normal. I know you don t know me, but what could be the cause of this dizziness?
Understanding your concern. As per your query you are wondering if slightly elevated BP cause dizziness, with other parameters being normal . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like middle ear infection , labyrinthitis , heart problem , anxiety disorder , dehydration , diabetes , polycystic kidney disease or gastroenteritis . Althought slight elevation in BP and dizziness can occur due to very simple reasons but If the symptoms you mention in query persist for longer period then consult cardiologist. Doctor may order ECG , TMT along with complete blood profile and check vitals . Doctor may prescribe betablockers and diuretic along with other treatment depending upon the diagnosis . Doctor may also refer you to ENT specialist for eat problem . For now keep yourself hydrated , take proper rest and avoid bending forward.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
