Hello,

High blood pressure can cause persistent headaches and blurry vision. It is usualy not detected in MRI, CAT Scan or Spinal tap procedure unless it is related with any other pathology.

You should consult a cardiologist and get your husband started on antihypertensives based on his age, built and other history.

Some lifestyle changes can also help in lowering high blood pressure as decreasing salt intake in food, doing regular exercises, losing some weight, avoiding fatty and junk food and learning relaxation exercises through meditation and yoga.

I hope this information helps. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. Take care.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
