Why am I feeling unwell?

Hi

I am just looking for some advice...

Over the last couple of months I have been feeling very tired, almost dizzy at points throughout the day & a little unsteady on my feet.

I have been to the doctor who sent me for blood tests & took my blood pressure. My results were:

blood pressure: 140/102
cholesterol: 6.1 (apparently the average for a male is 5.5)
& I have a slightly enflamed liver however she wasn't overly concerned - the advice was to cut down on how much I am drinking.

I haven't drank alcohol since I started feeling unwell so I don't see this being an issue although it may have contributed towards my condition.

Earlier in the week, I had to wear a 24 hour blood pressure monitor & I am expecting the results some time next week. I do suspect the blood pressure to be causing me to feel unwell however could there be anything else?

Can anyone advise me of what the next steps the doctor will take are?

thank you
 
thanks - I think medication is the way it is going.

I was just wondering if they stick you straight on medication or do they try & find out what is causing the high blood pressure?

Are you able to come off the pills once you start on them?
