can it make you have an illness like high blood pressure? or any other ones???

ive been feeling really dizzy for a couple of days, and i borrowed my daughters blood pressure machine and i was higher than usual, when i stand up i get so dizzy to the point im wobbly. i have an appointment to get my lab results tomorrow, but is there anything i can do till then, why is it doing this? i have never had high blood pressure?

My breathing rate when relaxed is between 7-9 breaths per minute..I feel fine, blood pressure good, not short of breath…I did grow up at a high attitude, 7000 feet now live at 2500 feet…I have read online that breathing rates can get down to 6 per minute when relaxed. It says online normal rates are 12-16 per minute. Male, 46yrs old..is my breathing ok?

Recently my mom started to feel more dizzy and she has had constant headaches. She’s checked her blood pressure and it’s pretty high. My question is what caused this? She doesn’t have any diseases or anything like that. Do you think she’s going through menopause? She’s only 46 years old. The weird thing is that it happened all of a sudden. Could it be the swine flu or any other thing?

thank you in advance.

if you know any of these, just give me the number, and then any answer you can give. It’s not cheating ’cause I was absent, but my dad has no idea. thx!
