155/111 induced dizziness and headaches? Hmm. The bottom number is high but my pressure has been around that level and I've had no effects.
I've had HBP for a few years now. I'm just north of 40. Without the Lisinopril/HCTZ I run around 140 to 160 over 100. With it, I range from 135/95 to 120/85. I also have "White Coat Syndrome", and am always sky-high at the doctor's office (which, according to my doctor, is the worst place you can get measured, LOL).
You can buy a good home digital meter pretty cheaply nowadays. I check it at night before bed, sometimes quite often, other times not so much, LOL. But it's good to have it around so I can check it if I want to.
Diet and exercise will definitely bring the BP down as well as the cholesterol and the diabetes. I carry around that typical 20-pound roll of belly fat, and I know if I got rid of it I'd improve in all those areas...
