I'm feeling dizzy lately, and I've noticed my blood pressure readings are consistently around 11665. It's been like this for the past 3 to 4 days. Is this normal, or should I be concerned?

A blood pressure reading of 11665 mmHg is within the normal range, but experiencing dizziness for 3-4 days warrants further evaluation; consider consulting a doctor to rule out underlying causes of dizziness, such as dehydration, inner ear issues, or medication side effects, and to assess your overall health.
