High blood pressure
Hello doctor my father is having dizziness since today evening. We had monitored his bp which shows 149/99. Meanwhile he had skipped his bp medicine since 3 days. However he took one tablet after feeling unwell. He is taking (Tellzyam). Is dizziness a symptom of stroke? Is this much blood pressure risky?
