Actually this started 2 months ago at that time I had pains in the back of my neck and the front of my head. Those headaches were all day. My doctor prescribed me Amitriptyline 25mg for the headaches before bedtime 1-2 tablets. And I also have high blood pressure been talking Triamterene for that. My blood pressure's been fine. Now I get the headaches when I laugh or they will come every now and then, and in middle of my head with blurry vision. No I dont have a history of migraines or glaucoma that I know of
