What Does Constant Dizziness In Head With Normal BP Suggest?

Hey all,I had my blood pressure measured at home and it came out to be in the normal range (the lower end if anything). However, for the past few days I have experienced a feeling whereby my head is constantly slightly dizzy, it is harder to focus and read, and when I tilt my head back I can really feel the blood rush to it. I feel like it is poor circulation to my head? When I lay down and get back up it feels better. I don t think it is whole body because I don t have high blood pressure and I have no ill effects (tingling, weakness) in the rest of my body.

Hello!

Welcome on HCM!

Your symptoms could be related to orthostatic hypotension or an inner ear disorder.

That is why I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a careful physical exam and some tests:

- a Head Up Tilt test
- a cervical spine X ray study to exclude chronic degeneration of the cervical spine
- complete blood count for anemia
- a Doppler ultrasound of the cervical arteries to examine the blood flow in them
- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance.

Hope to have been helpful!

Wishing all the best,

Dr. Iliri
