am a 45-year-old working professional in the media field, which can be quite stressful. Two years ago, I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and cholesterol issues. Unfortunately, I stopped taking my blood pressure medication without consulting my doctor about a year ago. Occasionally, I experience dizziness and blurred vision. I am unsure whether this is due to an increase in high blood pressure or simply weakness. Could you please provide guidance on my situation?
Ans: Blood pressure medicine should be started with proper evaluation. And once started it cannot be stopped abruptly.
Definitely the symptoms you have has to do with your blood pressure fluctuation and it's impact on the retina.
Get yourself monitored 24hrsthroughambulatory BP measurement and Consult your doctor to restart the medication
