Dear madam
Thanks for your query to HCM.
Yes, Indeed high blood pressure in the range of 180/140 mmHg can be associated with dizziness. In fact I would recommend an emergency consultation with your doctor at such levels of blood pressure when associated with dizziness. Although stress increases our BP but a level of 140 mmHg for the lower pressure is alarming. He definitely need to see the physician at earliest.
