Since your BP was quite high, it’s better to review your BP chart, reports, diet, sleep, and symptoms in detail before adding medicines. Most cases improve well with proper adjustment and lifestyle correction

"A Blood Pressure reading of 168/92 mmHg in a 29-year-old is classified as Stage 2 Hypertension and requires immediate medical attention. While Amlodipine is a standard treatment, 'head spinning' and headaches can sometimes be side effects of the medication itself or a sign that the BP is not yet stabilized. Since your other reports (Sugar, LFT, KFT) are normal, the focus remains on stabilizing the vascular pressure and investigating why it is high at a young age
Next Steps
DASH Diet: "Reduce salt intake strictly. Aim for less than 1 teaspoon of salt per day. Avoid processed foods, pickles, and papads."
Manage Stress: "Since triglycerides are high and you are young, stress and sedentary lifestyle could be major factors. Include 30 minutes of light walking once the dizziness subsides."
Hydration: Drink enough water, as dehydration can sometimes worsen the feeling of head spinning while on BP meds.
Caution: "If you experience any chest pain, sudden blurring of vision, or extreme breathlessness, visit the Emergency Room (ER) immediately, as these are signs of a Hypertensive Crisis."
Do Not Stop Medication: "Continue taking the prescribed Amlodipine for now, but consult your treating physician immediately regarding the dizziness. They may need to switch the molecule or add a secondary agent."
