What Causes Numbness In Hand And Giddiness?

I have BP ranging between 150 by 100 and have been prescribed Metosartan 50 once a day. After the medicine my BP has been constant at 120 by 80. However, i tend to get numbness in my left hand and also feel giddy sometime during the day. Not sure whether this is beacuse of the medicines, or because of the fact that i am unable to ackowledge that i have BP or i need to investigate further for any other issues. All my other reports are normal including calcium, sodium, sugar levels, cholestrol.

Hello,

First of all, you should do some investigations such as : Kidney function tests and an ECHO on your heart.

Second, the drug alone cannot control hypertension, you should change your lifestyle, for example, you should decrease the amount of salt in your diet, drink at least 2-3 liters of water through the day and stop smoking and drinking.

You need some medications such as: Aspirin twice per day after meals, vitamin B complex and Benfotiamine twice per day after meals.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Dr/Mustafa, Neurologist
