High Blood Pressure
Headache And High Blood Pressure
The heart pumps blood to all parts of your body in
vessels called arteries. Blood pressure is the force of the blood
pushing against the walls of the arteries. You may suffer from high
blood pressure if your blood pressure is at its highest when the heart
beats, pumping the blood (systolic pressure) and when the heart is at
rest, between beats (diastolic pressure). Headache is generally regarded
as being a symptom of high blood pressure. When the blood pressure goes
up, headache can also occur, which is true. Both, headache and high
blood pressure occur together. But, the question is how? For further

Interestingly, one study shows that severe headache does not mean that
you are suffering from high blood pressure or vice versa, which is quite
plausible. Nonetheless, both headache and high blood pressure are
related to each other. To cure high blood pressure, one has to take
blood pressure medication such as blood pressure medicine or blood
pressure herbal remedy. Blood pressure monitors and digital blood
pressure cuffs will help you keep a track of your blood pressure levels.
People with hypertension are more likely to have migraine headaches. Some of
the blood pressure lowering drugs such as calcium channel blockers and
beta-blockers are effective for treating both. The crux of the matter is
that if you have hypertension and are getting headaches, it does not
mean that your blood pressure would stay out of control, and that the
best treatment for the headache may be the traditional pain killers such
as aspirin. If your blood pressure rises frequently, a blood pressure
monitor is very useful so that you could have regular blood pressure
measurements, which go a long way in controlling it.
