Would A BP Level Of 156/78 Cause Dizziness And Heaviness In Head?

My mother aged 63 years, is feeling giddy with a heavy head now and then. A few days back we had checked her BP and it was 156 / 78. She seems to be feeling giddy again right now as I am typing this. What medication could she be on ? Is there something to worry about ? She is not diabetic but prone to headaches now and then.
What tablet or medication could she take right now? We are based in Botswana for now.
Thank you,
Regards

Hello sir,
Its may cause by BP or not. First control BP <140/80mmhg. Then if they have dizzineas and go for s. Sodium and CBC. Its cause by Hyponatremia. So go for near physician and proper diagnosis.
