Headache, Lightheadedness, Bloating, Odd Pain In Chest, Palpitations. Have Fibrromyalgia. Detected High BP. Connections?

Hello, my wife has Fibromyalgia, with associated body aches, and low energy. But more recently she has experienced head aches/ pressures, and often feels light headed.
She went to a chiropracter yesterday and he detected her blood ressure was high at 165/89 - this is her 3rd high reading. Would high blood pressure affect her head pressures and light headedness ??? She gets the odd chest pain, bloating,palpitations as well on occasions., which can be symptoms. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
Having this much blood pressure can cause headache.
Some asymptomatic patients may not feel headache.
So it depends upon individual.
As she is having other symptoms along with headache, go for investigations like,
EKG,
S. cholesterol,
Lipid profilr.
Go for regular checking of blood pressure regularly.
Meanwhile she can take pain reliever tablet.
Ok and take care.
