What Is The Treatment For Dizziness?
i just had an episode. I ve been having dizzy spells for a while no couple of weeks. Today I was at the store getting coffee. I don t remember paying or driving home. When I got home I had crapped my pants in the truck, no recollection of doing that. I was all discombobulated. Confessed and seemingly locked out of my house, I had left the keys in the ignition of my truck weird. I ve had a couple of dizzy bouts since then, what do you think? My girl friend came home unexpectedly and took me to cvs for blood pressure check. first reading was 144over 103 pulse 71. 141 97 69 last reading was 143 107 . What should I do

Hello!
I read the question and understand your concern.
In my opinion the troubles you have may be related to a brain problem. It may be a benign condition called transient global amnesia or just stress . Low blood flow to the brain , an ischemic transitory attack or a even a tumor may cause these problems.
I would recommend you to go to the doctor, have a neurological examination, a cardiologist consult and a full blood work up. Your blood pressure is high.
If the problem persists an EEG and brain MRI may be necessary to rule out serious underlying causes to this situation.
Hope to have been helpful!
Best wishes Dr. Abaz Quka
