Hi welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your query and concern. Blood pressure can be best controlled througChatDoctorbination of antihypertensives like Beta blockers and Calcium channel blockers.It's always advisable to keep the blood pressure under 13080 mm of Hg. You are currently prescribed the right kind of Chat Doctor. Avoid overt treatment to prevent lightheadedness., For this I advise you to have a baseline 2 dimensional echocardiography, ECG and lipid profile to assess the basic cardiac reserve of your heart. Restrict the intake of salt to less than 6g/day. Regular physical exercise in the form of brisk walk for 20 min a day for 5 days a week is pretty useful. Reduce the intake of fatty and fried food. One pomegranate a day will help to keep your heart at good pace without clot formation. Dizziness will go away, away once the headache and blood pressure will subside. Consult a Cardiologist for further expert management. Post your further queries if any. Thank you.
