Thank you for asking this question because it is important to know because of the headache & hypertension and high blood pressure is usually a silent disease and it it does not cause any symptoms but also it is a silent killer too but some people are sensitive and if the blood pressure is mildly high they get headache but also you have to remember that headache can cause high pressure as I mentioned some people are sensitive to even lower level of high blood pressure in that case it is not that dangerous but if the blood pressure is very high and level III that is above the 190 systolic and the diastolic above the 120 then he should get immediate treatment what and go to the emergency room but you have not told me any numbers off the blood pressure I will be interested if you can provide me that and then I can be more specific in the meantime if he has a high blood pressure he should not do any strenuous exercise except regular walking thank you again
