Hi,

Ideally, BP should 130/80 mm hg. A high surge of systolic BP can cause dizziness. Lifestyle modification (aerobic exercise regularly, salt restriction and weight loss, if BMI is high and foods containing high potassium) can lower BP. Otherwise, anti-hypertensive drug (low dose to start with ) will help.

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

Regards,
Dr. Tushar Kanti Biswas, Internal Medicine Specialist
