How Can Chronic Headaches In A Smoker With BP Be Treated?

1st I like to know or at least have an idea of what this could cost? the Q is should a 56 yo male morbidly obese heavy smoker with high blood pressure gets a severe headache (lasting so far 2 heading to 3 days) last month GP said no need to increase dose at this time. I get that I don t get an answer till I pay but perhaps you could give me an idea of cost preferably in Australian $? I ve given my husbands email as mine is being obnoxious at the moment.

Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that 56 year old is having chronic headache. Since he is a known smoker and he is having high blood pressure, his blood pressure needs to be treated as it can cause headache.
Smoking for a long time can cause ENT related problems and can cause headache.


Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Hope this is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.

Thank you
With regards
