Suggest Treatment For High BP, Dizziness, Black Bowel Discharge
I am 71 female; have high blood pressure for which I take many meds to keep under control; am diabetic; on synthroid for thyroid disease. Last evening, I had little appetite, was falling asleep in my chair, got up for bed, could hardly walk, very dizzy, couldn t focus, threw up, bowel discharge very black. BP several times over several hours average 80-90/50-60; Pulse keeps going up from my norms in 70 s to high 90 s, even 100. Have had no meds since am yesterday. Sugar normal. Any idea?

Hello,
Let me tell you that symptoms described by you that may be due to atrial fibrillation. You need some investigations like ECG, chest X-ray, Blood for lipids and thyroid. I suggest using Propanolol (25) and amlodipine (5) one time in a day.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
