Suggest Medication For High BP Followed By Dizziness

hello, sorry but this is a rather urgent message. i m Ross and i am 17 years old and my mother has been complaining about dizziness all day. No, she doesn t take any prescription medication at the moment. She does have high blood pressure, but refuses to take her medicine. Ok, let me start with this...yesterday she stayed home due to a migraine which she claimed to have had. She felt fine this morning, but when i came home from school i found her at home again (and not at work) in bed! I woke her up and she told me that she was very dizzy and came home. She looked very confused and dozed, but hadn t complained of any headaches or anything. I knew something was wrong but I didn t know what to think. She said she was so dizzy that she couldn t even walk, but i convinced her to try and she did. Once she got up she seemed to be getting back to normal, but something kind of bothered me...like she wasn t acting the same way that she would. She didn t seem very alert i guess. So about 20 minutes ago she went to bed and all of a sudden i hear her yell my name, and i literally was on stand-by with the phone in my hand ready to call 9-1-1 and ran to her bedroom. She was breathing very heavily and kind of groaning a little bit and i asked her if she was ok. She told me to get my dad and i quickly called him up and she told us that when she went to go lay down in the bed, she started getting extremely dizzy and that the room started spinning. She calmed down after a minute or two and said she felt fine again and wanted to get some rest. Please help, i don t know what I should do. I m scared, my dad s scared, but my mother just insists that she will get better when she just seems to be getting worse!

Hello,

I suggest you consult Cardiologist, Neurologist for investigations and treatment. If she has a history of high BP and Migraine without any other underlying disease then she should be taking her medications on time with regular follow-up.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Sandeep Kumar Karn, Internist / Hospitalist
