Hi and welcome to HCM
Your Blood pressure in on higher side and also you are overweight.
The symptoms lightheadedness which you are having may be due to high BP. You have to consult a local physician and he may advice you some tests.
Based on lab reports he will put some medications. At your age i would have considered you for blood sugar tests (FBS and PPBS), an ECG, Fasting lipid profile and a renal function test. Its better to put on anti platelet medications like aspirin, ask your doctor for this.
Also cut down salt in your diet (
