Hmm BP headache yes man it is really difficult to bear with it. I have seen my uncle suffering with it and he used to complain whenever he used to miss a dose. Should be taken care of well.
hello,
headache due to high bp is dangerous.
it means that the pressure in your cranial vessels is high.
i would advise you to get your bp checkes. there are portable self monitors to measure bp.
you have to also start taking tablets to control your bp.
also you need to give us a full detaila as to whether you have any family history of migarine.
do u have headache only on one side. do u have weakness of tongue, eye sight blurring etc.
also you need to tell us if you get this headache at the same time of the day.
in the mean time avoid tension and stress.
for further query contact us at HCM.
wishing you a speedy recovery.
take care

Hi well come to HCM.
you have mentioned you use to have high BP does not confirm weather it was occasional
or regularly you were keeping high, and at present on any medication for it.If occasional
high BP your headache may not be in relation with your high BP.If on regular medication
no reason to shoot up your BP. How ever if you are on regular pills for BP you can have
an additional dose of the pill to play safe and even if your hadache is not DUE to HBP
thre will not be drastic fall in your BP with single extra dose. In addition you should
take paracetamol for symptomatic relief of headache. Thanks and good luck.
