my dad is having nausea & dizziness. When he tries to throw up nothing comes out. high blood preassure too.??

Question

my dad has high blood preassure. I am not sure of what it is because now he can not sit down to even take water or tea so dizzy he is.

Answer 1

Get him to the hospital. My neighbor had a series of mini strokes when her high blood pressure sky rocketed. She had symptoms similar to what your Dad is experiencing.

Answer 2

Well, the high blood pressure will cause the nausea and dizziness. If he is not on high blood pressure medication, he should go get checked out and get on some. If he is, it could be some sort of infection causing the nausea and dizziness. A lot of people also don't realize that having high blood pressure has a lot to do with their heart and the way it functions. Should get and EKG as well. Good luck to you both and I hope he feels better soon.

Answer 3

ur dad has high blood pressure and if he's taking medicine to control that, it can be because of an overdose, because decrease in blood pressure causes nausea and dizziness.
or worse it can be a stroke or a bleed in his brain, which can be identified depending on his symptoms.
so u should take him to the doctor, to get checked.

Answer 4

No it would raise it even higher. A high salt intake is one of the causes of high blood pressure. Salt should be reduced in your diet. The usual reason for drinking salty water (and only very mildly salted) is to combat dehydration. Drinking plain water can help regulate the blood pressure and is good for both high and low blood pressure. It works in different ways in each case.

Answer 5

Call 911 or take him to the ER......my friend had high blood pressure and didn't take care of it and suffered a stroke. Now she can't move her right arm and can barely walk. You certainly don't want this to happen to your dad.

Answer 6

Vertigo is a sensation of severe room spinning. It can originate from the inner ear or the brain.

Otologic causes of vertigo: Typically if the vertigo arises from the inner ear, it is severe and has associated nausea and vomiting. One cause of otologic vertigo is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo BPPV. Alternate causes of vertigo originating from the inner ear include Meniere's disease and labyrinthitis.

Central nervous system causes of vertigo: If vertigo arises from the balance centers of the brain, it is typically more mild, and usually has accompanying neurologic deficits, such as slurred speech or double vision. Alternately, brain pathology can cause a sensation of disequilibrium which is an off-balance sensation.
