I'm a bit worried because my doctor just told me my blood pressure is 17090. I don't have any other symptoms, but I'm wondering what steps I should take. Can you give me some advice on managing this?

I've been on blood pressure meds for the past couple of months, but recently I've been experiencing a heavy feeling in my head and some dimness, especially at night. It's starting to worry me. Could you provide some guidance on what I should do next?

"Hello, based on your symptoms of feeling heavy-headed and dizzy, especially at night, it is possible that you may be experiencing side effects from your blood pressure medication. I would recommend consulting with your doctor to discuss these symptoms. They may consider adjusting your medication or trying a different one. In the meantime, make sure to monitor your blood pressure regularly. If you are taking amlodipine for your blood pressure, the dosage is typically 5-10 mg once daily."

I'm having this weird tingling sensation and sometimes my heart starts racing. I got an ECG and my blood pressure was checked, and both came back normal. I'm not sure what to do next or who I should reach out to. Can you guide me on this?

That could be due to anxiety, or any endocrine disorder too,visit Physician for evaluation and appropriate management.
