What Causes Sudden High Blood Pressure And Dizziness?
Today, I had 1 regular cup of coffee around 1pm and then 1 glass of wine at 5pm . I came home and did not feel right. Vision off, head pounding, dizzy, spacey feeling. I took my blood pressure and it was 131/87 so I took my blood pressure medicine and then 2 hours later still did not feel well. I ended up checking it again and it raised to 147/93. And I’m just laying in bed trying to rest. Not sure what’s going on this has been happening lately.

Hello!
Your symptoms could be related the interaction between coffee and wine.
You should know that both these drinks can trigger cardiac arrhythmia.
Anyway, I recommend having some rest and taking another pill of blood pressure medicine if your blood pressure does not drop.
If your symptoms persist, going to the ER will be necessary.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
