CAN HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE CAUSE DIZZINESS

blood pressure

The hydrostatic force that blood exerts against the wall of a vessel.
the pressure of the circulating blood against the walls of the blood vessels; results from the systole of the left ventricle of the heart; sometimes measured for a quick evaluation of a person’s health; “adult blood pressure is considered normal at 120/80 where the first number is the systolic
The following is an episode list for the MTV animated television series Beavis and Butt-head. The series has its roots in 1992 when Mike Judge created two animated shorts – “Frog Baseball” and “Peace, Love & Understanding” – which were later aired on Liquid Television.
The pressure of the blood in the circulatory system, often measured for diagnosis since it is closely related to the force and rate of the heartbeat and the diameter and elasticity of the arterial walls

Unfortunately on Saturday the dizziness had returned with a vengence. I talked to the guy in the next camp, a nurse who is responsible for the nursing stations in 6 Aboriginal communities in eastern WA. He suggested it might be dehydration so I spent the day hydrating, washing, reading and watching the birds. I transferred to a powered site (so I can catch up on my photo stuff, watch a video, and keep warm…although it is not so cold now…. In fact most of the Centre had its warmest July day on record on Thurs…32) for 2 days, and hope I will be able to leave by then.

On Sunday I managed to see a doctor at the After Hours Clinic. It cost $90!!! They say they put high price to discourage the town itinerates who frequent the hospital emergency mainly with alcohol related complaints. Still a very nice young African examined me, checked my blood pressure and urine, and confirmed my own belief that it is an allergy caused inner ear complaint… to take antihistamines, inhalations, stematil for the symptoms, (all of which I have been doing from time to time) and Sudafed (which the chemist had run out of). (Most important he said it is OK to drive on, so tomorrow we are off to Queensland. I spent the rest of the day filling the tanks and all the other stuff getting ready to leave.

Look at this cute brown bird.

Does this make sense to anyone else?
