question: I am a 54 yr old female, who started taking thyroid medication over a year ago.  Normally my BP is about 108/72, even though I weigh 200 lbs.  For the past 3 weeks I get vertigo every time I look up or when I move my eyes to fast.  I also starting noticing things floating in my vision.  This morning, I thought my BP was low, as when I got up, I kept feeling like I was going to faint or vomit, but when my neighbor took my BP I was shocked to see it at 137/104, even though my pulse was normal at 70.  Currently I am on another island then where my doctor is, so should I wait until I get back home in a few weeks, or should I have things checked out now?  I am also going thru menopause, so it is hard for me to tell if these symptoms are related.
