Hi, I have a lot of headache and light headed.  My blood pressure is super normal (110/70 - 130/80).  Thyroid is normal (never out of range).  They blame on my anemia.  Anemia fixed.  One year it is stayed in the normal limit.  They're unable to find further so asked me to live with it.  

Until the end of last month, I have a black-out.  My car crashed on the traffic island.  They start refer me to the neurologist.  The ER doc thought it could be TIA.  I'm still under investigation.

Hi there.

I believe that your blood pressure may still be inadequately controlled, and these feeling of headache and light headedness can signify spikes in blood pressure that you are unable to notice.  Monitoring your blood pressure twice a day and listing them down may help in documenting this.

I recommend that you ask your doctor about additional medications for your blood pressure or increasing the dose of present medications.  Also, avoid too much stress and have adequate rest.

Regards.
