How to immediately control rising blood pressure that causes severe nausea and spinning of head in a person? -

My mum suffers from hypertension and she is on alternative medicine and Yoga, which has helped to control the blood pressure to quite an extent. But since yesterday, she is complaining of spiining of head when she gets up from bed. I assume her blood pressue is risen now hennce asked her to rest and just lie on bed. I have also given her the allopathic medicine ( amlong - a) for it. But the situation hasnt improved. It s very early in the morning yet and the docs could be contacted only after few hours. Can anyone help me how to deal with this situation. She is 47 years old.

She should have a blood pressure cuff at home. Use it and check her blood pressure. I doubt her BP is elevated because the spinning of the head when getting up indicates usually a severe DROP in blood pressure. Use her blood pressure cuff and have her lay down for at least five minutes and check her blood pressure. Have her sit up fast and immediately check her blood pressure and then have her stand up and immediately check her blood pressure. This must be done in this order. Write all three of these numbers down to take to the docs office with you today.

The omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to lower cholesterol and subsequently control high blood pressure. Eat oily fish like sardines, salmon, mackerel, at least 2 times a week. Report Abuse

If my BP is extremely high--I get a splitting headache. If it is too low, I get dizzy in the head. So be sure before you do anything--as to what the BP reading really is. Good Luck. If she is on medicine--maybe she is taking too much. It extremely concerned--go to ER. Good Luck.
