Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Is High Blood Pressure And Pulse Rate With Headaches Of Concern?
I take blood pressure medication, but have been out for over a month. Usually it is borderline high, but the medication controls it. Today I have a bad headache, and my pressure is 150 over 100, and my pulse is 72. Should I be concerned? My Dr. appt (3 mo. chk up) is next week.
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell that kindly take some pain killer for a headache if you are not experiencing any weakness or dizziness then check your blood sugar after some time. If still, your blood pressure comes back high then take Cilnidipine as for now and consult your treating physician for further treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhanu Partap, Cardiologist
