Welcome to HealthCareMagic.com I am Dr.J.Mariano Anto Bruno Mascarenhas, and I am here to help you. I have read your question with care and understand your concerns.

Question : What causes dizziness and difficulty in concentrating with high blood pressure?
Answer : Too Much Anti Hypertensive Medications (the Drugs you take to control high blood pressure) reduce your pressure to 110/62. Because of this low pressure there is less blood flow to brain. because of less blood flow to brain, there is less oxygen delivered to brain. Because of Less Oxygen, Brain cannot function properly.
