Full Question:Why does the change in the weather help contribute to the onset of a headache? In warm weather I'm fine but in the cold I'm not! Also if a headache can be caused by high blood pressure, how would you know? Is not dangerous? Is there any real significant signs to help a person that has a very high family history of High Blood Pressure? Can the straining of your eyes also help contribute to head pain? Just wondering! Thank you for your time, Mrs. Cervantes.
Answer:
Dear Mrs. Cervantes;
Sometimes, the high blood pressure accompanies a Migraine, and it is not clear why. There are 200 medical and surgical items that can be related to Migraines. With blood pressure, one can measure this at home with a blood pressure unit. This is easy to learn and keeping a diary of blood pressure is a good idea in your circumstance.
Good luck,
John Claude Krusz and Teri Robert
