Introduction
Dizziness and high blood pressure may be caused by physiological factors or pathological factors, such as essential hypertension, cervical spondylosis, etc. It is recommended to improve the condition under a doctor's guidance through lifestyle adjustments, medication, or surgery. Besides the above-mentioned causes, conditions like cerebral infarction could also be responsible; therefore, timely medical examination is advised to identify the specific cause and receive targeted treatment accordingly.

Dizziness accompanied by high blood pressure may be caused by physiological factors or pathological conditions, such as essential hypertension or cervical spondylosis. It is recommended to improve symptoms through lifestyle adjustments, medication, or surgery under the guidance of a physician.

I. Physiological Factors

If you have recently experienced significant mental stress, excessive fatigue, or insufficient sleep, it may lead to spasms in small cerebral blood vessels, resulting in dizziness and elevated blood pressure. Symptoms typically subside with appropriate lifestyle modifications, and no specific treatment is usually required.

II. Pathological Factors

1. Essential Hypertension

Hypertension can have a genetic component. Patients with essential hypertension may frequently experience dizziness and high blood pressure in daily life. Timely antihypertensive treatment under medical supervision is recommended. Commonly used medications include hydrochlorothiazide tablets and telmisartan capsules.

2. Cervical Spondylosis

Severe cervical spine disease may compress local carotid arteries, leading to insufficient cerebral blood supply. This can cause symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and elevated blood pressure. Appropriate massage or heat application to the affected area may help improve local blood circulation. Under medical guidance, traction therapy or surgical intervention may also be considered to relieve nerve compression.

Besides the above-mentioned causes, conditions such as cerebral infarction could also be responsible. It is advisable to seek timely medical evaluation and receive targeted treatment based on the specific underlying cause.

If one or more of these symptoms occur, it is recommended to promptly visit a正规 hospital for a complete blood count (CBC) test to confirm the diagnosis.
