i'm 84 years old and had my yearly physical with a complete blood test about six weeks--everything was in the normal range. When I woke up this morning feeling normal, but when I opened my eyes everything I looked at seemed to be moving from side to side. It took about a minute of opening and closing my eyes for it to stop. It upset me so about 30 minutes later I took my blood pressure and it was 147/85. At home my blood pressure is usually lower than normal.
