My blood pressure is high and I feel dizzy when I stand up

My consultant told me it can be reversed with diet but this hasn't worked for me. My symptoms are ruq pain going through to back, shoulder and shoulder blade pain, pain in spleen, every muscle, joint and bone hurt. Now my arms and legs seem to be seizing up! Fatigue is a big one as I hardly get any sleep due to pain. I really hope you feel better soon

Hi Lynn, I was wondering how you were hun .I have a high fibrosis score, 27 .so stage f4 .I too suffer so so bad with fatigue but also insomnia if that makes any sense as it really doesn't to me. My hepetologist put me on lactulose and it's done nothing. Currently and still waiting for MRI scan now 8 weeks! Hope all goes well hun on 3 August xxx

I have high BP. At time I feel very dizzy, light headed when standing. My BP would drop to 74/42 when standing. Went to doctor and they said I was dehydrated. You should get checked by your doctor to be safe.

Fibrosis can be reversed. It's basically inflammation with scarring but pre-cirrhosis. I depends on the cause and eliminating that. I have autoimmune diseases so had steroids, now on immunosuppressant. Fibrosis has healed, according to blood results.
