Hi - I was recently diagnosed with Vertigo. - BUT I have been on blood pressure meds for years - I have very bad hypertension. Question is - The Heart Group decided to decrease my Benicar from 40mg to 20mg. Since the change, my blood pressure went from 110/78 to 140/78. I exercise frequently - Zumba, osteoball, water aerobics. Can this be the cause? I can t get this out of my mind that I woke up to get out of bed and this happened all of a sudden? I had a cat scan & EKG s, blood work, etc. All came back good. Help? I still feel dizzy. Ear drops of Cirprodex otic suspension 4 drops daily 2x a day since Monday.
