Hello,

For BPPV (Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo), Epley's maneuver is the only option to relieve dizziness. Initially, it causes dizziness you are feeling right now. However, on repeated exercises, it will fade away.

Till that you can take Cinnarizine or Promethazine tablets after a consultation with ENT specialist.

If Micardil 20 is not effective in lowering Blood pressure, increase the dose up to 40 to 80 mg per day. Get other investigation like lipid profile, kidney function tests, liver function test, and USG KUB.

Start early morning yoga and meditation. Decrease salt consumption. Have a stress free lifestyle to maintain low blood pressure.

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

Regards,
Dr. Hiren Hirpara
