[|Human|] I have been told I have highish blood pressure and have a machine which I have to monitor my blood pressure for 10 days today I felt dizzy and a bit faint and have had tingling and numbness in my right hand. I had a meal out which I thought tasted very salty, could this be why I feel a bit strange?
[|AI|]  I read your question carefully and I understand your concern. I think that given the numbness of your right hand, dizziness and high blood pressure you need to be evaluated for the possibility of a stroke which could manifest with those symptoms. So you should be visited by a doctor for neurologic signs as soon as possible. Of course, it might also be some more benign cause like degenerative changes of the spine with nerve compression which might as well cause sensory symptoms in upper limb and dizziness, but still if the numbness and dizziness are new signs, without any previous recurrences, stroke should be ruled out first. I hope to have been of help.
