Hello doctor,
I wake up or turn away, turn, bend down, look up quickly and many times, I often get dizzy, nauseous, and my head is dizzy like motion sickness. I often hear the pulse on the back of my neck, on both sides of my temples, behind my ears. Blood pressure sometimes goes up to 160, goes down to 110. So the doctor asked me if my blood pressure fluctuated up and down, can I take blood pressure medicine? I thank the doctor.

Hello,
With the question “Can I take blood pressure medicine with blood pressure up and down? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
According to the diagnostic criteria, when the blood pressure is at most 160mmHg, it is diagnosed as hypertension. Hypertension may present with headache, dizziness. Symptoms of dizziness and nausea when changing positions can also be seen in other conditions such as vestibular disorders, meningoencephalopathy,...
Ideally, doctors should consult directly with a doctor to be examined. and perform tests to confirm the diagnosis, use antihypertensive drugs if necessary to avoid serious complications.
