i have been thinking for the past 3 months that anxiety has been causing my dizzyness but i have decided to monitor my blood pressure since i do take HBP medicine Atentnol 50mg once aday

i take my pressure in 2 sittings a day 3 times each sitting.

this is how its been looking

147/97

then right after 133/75

then 86/70

could this irregular pressure be causing my dizzyness and lightheadedness

its like when i sit in a chair i feel like ima fall off

I suspect your 86/70 is an incorrect reading. Normal human daily Blood Pressure Range can vary widely, so any single blood pressure monitor reading is not reliable. BP monitor readings must be taken at different times of day, to determine average blood pressure levels over time.

If you are checking your BP twice a day at different times of the day that is good but why are you taking it 3 times at each sitting?

I do not know what is causing your dizziness but would strongly suggest that you talk with your Dr. about your medication if you feel this is causing your problems.

Good lucky and remember to work on your anxiety as this feels to me like your main problem. JMHO.

i was told by DR that that is the correct was twice a day 3 times consectly each sitting so in those 2 sittings 6 total readings
to see how my meds were working
i do go back on weds was just hoping maybe this is where the lightheaded feeling was coming from
