How Can High BP Along With Dizziness And Blurred Vision Be Treated?

Hello, About a month ago i had a sore throat which had me sick for a few days. Ever since i have had diarrhea some days not as bad as others. I have high blood pressure (take medication) and im pre diabetic. Last weekend i was cleaning and felt very light headed, my vision got darker and blurry i could barely walk and i went deaf in both ears with ringing. I laid down for a few minutes and felt better with a bit of feeling clammy. I hadnt got any rest or really ate 48 hours before that so i thought maybe it was my body just being tired. Last night i noticed a red rash around my lower legs, it has spread pretty quickly up my legs and now i even see the rash on the back of my arms and forearms, it is itchy and my ankles are swollen. My pinky toes have kind of been feeling different not a lot of pain but some. and now it feels like there is a lump under my left foot. Could all of this be related?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The rash is not likely related to the diarrhea approximately a month ago (that is usually due to a viral illness affecting the GI tract). As you stated the lightheaded sensation, ears ringing, weakness and blurred vision may be due to decreased intake and rest but if you have blood sugar machine and blood pressure, you should check these parameters . The rash, since it is generalized and itchy, may be due an allergic reaction. An oral antihistamine may be helpful to reduce the symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
