What Causes Vertigo While Suffering From High BP?

I have been having symptoms of Vertigo, but have taken my blood pressure 4 times and the highest was 167/99, and the lowested was 147/99. I am on high blood pressure meds and just took a second pill of Amlodipine. Last night I was very clammy and felt as if I could vomit. Also took my blood sugar count and it was 127. I am feeling a little better, but not totally myself. I have a little headache now and a little lightheaded.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

There are lot of causes of vertigo based on the information provided by you. I am of opinion that it might be because of increased BP which may some times cause hypertensive encephalopathy or any abnormalities affecting the posterior cerebral circulation. I have no idea whether you have diabetes, cholesterol or any other significant medical illness apart from BP. I would suggest you to get MRI Brain done also would like to suggest you to visit ED if it is getting worse, any weakness if you notice or visual changes. I recommend you to decrease your salt intake,carry on reg exercise, strictly adhere to your medicine doses and schedule , try doing mediation of possible.

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