Elderly people with high blood pressure and dizziness should immediately stop their activities to rest and measure their blood pressure, and take additional antihypertensive medication to relieve it if necessary. There are many reasons for dizziness in hypertensive patients, which may be related to a significant increase in blood pressure, at which time the patient should immediately stop the activity to rest and measure blood pressure. If the blood pressure is high, the patient should take antihypertensive medication to relieve the dizziness as prescribed by the doctor, such as nifedipine controlled-release tablets, valsartan, hydrochlorothiazide tablets, etc., and the dizziness symptoms will be relieved when the blood pressure is reduced to the ideal range. In order to prevent target organ damage caused by excessive blood pressure, patients are advised to undergo cranial CT examination at the same time to exclude brain damage such as cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction. In addition, blood pressure is constantly fluctuating, when taking too much coffee or tea, strenuous exercise, emotional overload, omission of antihypertensive medication, etc. can also cause the patient’s blood pressure to rise, which may lead to dizziness. Therefore, patients with high blood pressure should take medication as prescribed by their doctors in their daily life and maintain healthy lifestyle habits. If their blood pressure fluctuates greatly or if they feel unwell, they should go to the cardiology clinic in a timely manner and be treated according to the doctor’s instructions.
