    Can you provide more information?

    How old is he? Is he on any medications? Does he have any health conditions? When was the last time he ate something?

    He is 45,no, he had bladder cancer 6-7yrs ago. He has eaten.
    He has been complaining of his lower back hurting him. And for about 2wks he has been getting headaches which is not normal.

    Not knowing his complete medical history, we really can't give you much advice. There are no doctors on this site and I am the only registered nurse.

    A blood pressure of 140/74 is relatively good. The top number, 140, (systolic) is slightly elevated, but nothing I would concern myself over. The bottom number, 74, (diastolic) is perfect.

    You need to be looking for causes other than BP.

    Is it hot where you live?
    What did he eat and when?
    Is he hydrated?
    When did this start and for how long has it been going on?

    [QUOTE=Susie U;3514985]Blood Pressure is not too bad. Call his doctor to advise. Dizziness indicates something is wrong.

    Could be an ear infection. I know one of those will give me vertigo. Could be a number of things. A doctor will know.
