Back in march I went to the ER for being dizzy (vertigo, never experienced it and got scared) they took blood tests (said my troponin level was at an 82) but my EKG, ct, xray, echo came back normal. However my blood pressure readings were insanely high, 144/93, 163/108, 150/116. A few days later I had a check up with my doc and my blood pressure was 127/89, she put me on Amlodipine, did the 2 week checkup to see how my blood pressure was and it was 123/83. I got off the medication due to the horrible side effects i experienced. I’ve been put on Propranolol (20mg twice a day) and my numbers have been good, 120s, sometimes 130s depending if I have caffeine and even into 112. I’m still experiencing the dizziness and have no idea what’s happening with that so I expect my blood pressure to however in the 130s/80s. I’m just curious, once i find out what’s going on with me, will my blood pressure go back to normal (it used to be 127/75 - 131/86 depending if I ad caffeine at the reading) or will I have to stay on medication for life?

Had my first vertigo event feb 28th, been dealing with this stuff (dizziness not every day, neck pain, headaches, eyes pressure, fatigue, brain fog, floaters that look like small balls if static, blind spots sometimes ) ever since! I’ve been to the ER in march for being dizzy, blood pressure readings were high so the following week my doc put me on high blood pressure. Completely ignored me telling her “I don’t feel like myself, I’m dizzy and feel out of it” she said it’s because you have high blood pressure, take your medication and you’ll feel better. Fast forward to now, had 2 CT scans (neck pain), echo, ekg, hearing test. All those came back normal. I’ve seen a neurologist, ENT & an audiologist. The neurologist told me “this is an ent problem” she just looked at my optical nerves and the March CT scans. I saw the audiologist and ENT doctor yesterday and they both said your hearing test came back excellent but the ENT doctor told me “this isn’t an inner ear problem, it’s a neurological problem. From what you’re telling me it sounds very much like vestibular migraines, but I can’t diagnose you with that only a neurologist can.” This has started affecting my job, missed most of march, part of April and I finally took May off to see if I can get some answers. So do I have VM?
