I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns.
All your symptoms are caused by hypertension(high blood pressure). Your symptoms are caused by the damage of nervous system, that is due to hypertension.
To control your blood pressure you should avoid cholesterol, lipids, carbohydrates and salt.
You should also take antihypertensive medications.
Consult your cardiologist.
All the best. Dr. Behar.
