I'm really worried about my father. He's 65 and has been dealing with diabetes for about 7 years now. Usually, his normal blood pressure is around 11075, but today I checked and it was 17080. His pulse rate is 90 and his oxygen saturation is 98. Does this seem normal or should I be concerned about these numbers? What should I do next?

Given your symptoms, I recommend consulting an: 1. *ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) Specialist*: As dizziness can be related to inner ear issues, such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). 2. *Neurologist*: To rule out any underlying neurological conditions that might be causing your dizziness. 3. *General Physician*: If you're unsure about which specialist to consult, start with a general physician who can evaluate your overall health and refer you to a specialist if needed. Before consulting a doctor: 1. *Keep a symptom journal*: Track when the dizziness occurs, how long it lasts, and any triggers you notice. 2. *Monitor your blood pressure*: Ensure your blood pressure is within a healthy range. 3. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water throughout the day. During the consultation: 1. *Share your medical history*: Inform your doctor about your previous experience with dizziness 3 years ago. 2. *Describe your symptoms*: Provide detailed information about your dizziness, including when it occurs, how long it lasts, and any triggers you've noticed.
