Hello doctor! About a month ago, my mother started to have symptoms of tinnitus in both ears. After a few days, the mother had high blood pressure and had to be hospitalized, but her health returned to normal. However, on the last 2nd day, my mother said she had tinnitus again and on the 4th morning she said her head was a bit dizzy and now she has high blood pressure again. Did the doctor tell me if my mother is seriously ill or just high blood pressure? Thank you very much doctor.

Hello! From the information you provide, it is possible that you have high blood pressure but have not been adequately treated, nor have you met your treatment goals.
Hypertension is a chronic disease, most cases have no symptoms, a few cases show non-specific symptoms such as headache, facial flushing, tinnitus. Many cases of hypertension are detected for the first time with serious cardiovascular events, even life-threatening.
Therefore, the treatment of hypertension is the need for "regular, continuous, complete and prolonged" treatment. Besides medication, other measures such as diet and exercise also play an important role.
You should take your doctor to a medical facility with specialized Cardiology for a full consultation.
