Hi sir / mam ,
My mom has been facing vertigo from last 2-3 months , mostly on early morning . So we went to ENT and they recommend daily 3 dose of stugeron . We continue it but dizzyness comes back after short period. So we got ear test done amd they were fine. Then doc took bP and it was 153/100 . But last week we went to other clinin and there it was normal .
Please help me if my mom 60 years should start taking the BP medicine now or she can reduce the bp naturally by less salt and daily excercise .or if any other specific diet.
Thanks in advance
