High Blood Pressure medication cause blackouts? Posted: 12-03-07 23:04pm
I have been diagnosed with high blood
pressure running 160/105 and have been
taking blood pressure medicine for it. It
has been better since I have been on the
medication but i have been suffering a new
problem. At any time I seem to be on the
verge of blacking out. My eyes will roll
back in my head my lips turn purple and
right before I go out completely I regain
complete conciousness. The problem is that
it afterwards I seem to have symptoms of
continued dizziness and have a hard time
concentrating afterward. Also when driving
even short lengths I continue to blackout
for seconds at a time and wake up when the
car runs off the road. Anytime I take a
deep breath I feel pain in the lower part
of my chest on the left side and that is
also where I feel the chest pain and it
feels as if it runs completely through to
the back. I don't know if the blackouts
are from a neurological problem or they
are problems from my high blood pressure
and hardening of the arteries. I have had
my cholesterol checked and it is perfect
so I don't know why I have hardening of
the arteries. If anyone has any idea on
the type of help I need to see or what
might be the problems please let me know.
