Im a 34 yr old female with slightly elevated BP.  Ive been monitoring it as directed by my doctor for about 2 months now..I should mention that I have also had frequent headaches/migraines for the past several months as well. A few days ago I had a dizzy spell all of a sudden while grocery shopping and thought I might faint as well as my heart was racing.  I went home and took my BP and it was 150/96.  Today I started feeling not well, headache, heart racing.  I took my BP and it is now 141/105.  My mother, grandmother and aunts have all either had high BP, heart attacks, or strokes.  Are my issues urgent?
Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I read your question carefully and understand your concern. Your symptoms seem to be related to uncontrolled high blood pressure. Your past medical history may be related to a hereditary high blood pressure. The headaches may also be an indicator of uncontrolled high blood pressure. From the other hand a cardiac arrhythmia can not be excluded, referring to the lat episode. I recommend consulting with your GP for a careful physical examination and perform some tests
