A member asked:

Dizziness and fast heart rate bp is 157/97 ..f.22yrs.120lbs. what could be wrong?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Measurement bias: A single BP measurement doesn't diagnose high blood pressure. You need an average of many blood pressures obtained at complete rest over a period of time to make the diagnosis. Your dizziness and single reading are probably unrelated.
