What Causes Dizziness, Fatigue And High BP?

I have periodically been experience with extreme dizziness, buckling legs, and extreme fatigue. I do have high blood pressure (taking 100 mg of losartan potassium daily) for it. I know it is not just anxiety, as I have lots of experience with anxiety attacks, and this is very different. Also latest blood work shows thyroid levels good and no diabetes. Any clues?

2. Abnormalities in Blood sugars : Both high and low Blood sugars can cause dizziness.

3. Abnormalities in blood sodium levels.
4. Low Hemoglobin ( Anemia )
5. Inner Ear problems .

Some serious problems are :

In your case , high BP is one possible cause of Dizziness . So kindly get your BP checked and if it's high ask your doctor to add an additional BP medications and if it's ow ask him to reduce your Present medication.

Also get your Hemogobin , Serum Sodium levels checked and if they are normal get a ECG and a ENT check up done .
