Should I Go To The ER If I Have Affected Balance, Light Headedness, And Pressure On Head?
Good evening. I have been feeling light headed on and off every day for the past couple of weeks and lately it seems to be getting worse. Today it was sliglhtly affecting my balance. I feel a lot of pressure, 8-9/10, in the front, left side, and mid back of my head. When I change positions of my head, the lightheaded sensation is worse. My BP is 140s/90s, HR 70s. Tylenol and Ibuprofen helped a little bringing it down to 6-7/10, but I still feel aweful. Something doesn't feel right and I'm worried, but don't know if I need to go to the ER or not. I have already seen my PMD and don't know if I need to see a neurologist instead.
HI Thank for asking to HCM I do not think that you should go to see the ER or neurologist, your light headed problem could be due to your stress level and because of this you are having different ideas, the analgesic or anti-inflammatory drugs does not control the blood pressure, you can have better result with the help of tranquilizer "Chlordiazepoxide" would be drug of choice just twice a day will give excellent result, keep your stress level low every thing will be okay have nice day.
