A member asked:
Can an increase in blood pressure from 95/60 to 135/76 and above in a month's time cause lightheadedness? my bp and lipids were always perfect before.

Yes!: That dramatic a change would indicate something dramatic may have changed in your body. Heart disease, kidney disease, and neurological issues first come to mind, especially if you have made no other changes in your lifestyle.
