Hi Goratharjoko. The condition you experience in general can be caused by:
1. orthostatic hypotension where there is a change in blood pressure, especially when a change in position is >/=20mmHg
2. hypotension is mainly related to the effects of drugs that lower your blood pressure excessively
3. hypoglycemia
4. iron deficiency anemia
5. Psychosomatic
Have you previously had high blood pressure? If you are anxious and restless, feel pain or are under stress, this will often increase your blood pressure. It is important to ensure that your blood pressure is indeed an abnormal one, and that regular check-ups with your doctor about the effects of treatment are important. What you can do is
1. Limit salt consumption, especially considering your history of hypertension.
2. Consume a balanced diet and increase the consumption of water
3. Manage stress and get enough rest
4. Avoid smoking and alcohol
5. Immediately rest or hold when dizziness begins to attack
Consult further with your doctor for more information. Hopefully helpful, and thank you. Regards, Dr Alyssa
