Feeling Of Fullness In Head. Blood Pressure Increases During These Episodes. Has History Of TIAs. How To Cure?

Off and on, I have feelings of "fullness" in my head. These episodes appear suddenly. I awoke two days ago, feeling fine, but when I tried getting out of bed, almost fell because I felt so unbalanced. When I laid back down, felt fine. Tried again, with help and started shaking uncontrollably...head, arms and eyes didn't focus well. I am 70 yrs. old with history of TIAs. I called my dr. and was asked my bp which was a tiny bit high. I've since noticed that my bp goes upwards during an episode. I feel very weak at times, but if I go into the ER and my bp is fine, and I'm not having an episode, how do they help me? My family is pushing me to go to hospital, but I know the routine so well....8 hrs. of testing and with no symptoms, (no brain bleeds), I just hesitate going....Thank you for listening.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
Your blood is least concern with your complain because borderline increased in blood pressure does not manifest any clinical symptoms, again fullness you used a words here which is little hard to get it, did you mean congestion ? if this is so then it could be due to sinus problem, sinusitis also some time causes dizziness, If I would be your doctor then I would treat you in the line of sinusitis first, and I would definitely get a good result, have nice day.
