Hi susie,
First let me say I am sorry for your loss. This must be a very difficult time for you.
It is not uncommon, I know it happens to me, for blood pressure to increase when we have a Migraine attack. But it is important to monitor it and get it under control. If you doctor is having a difficult time doing this, I wonder if it might not be a good idea to see a Migraine specialist soon, so your head pain won't become prolonged. It's important to note that neurologists aren't necessarily Migraine and headache specialists. Take a look at the article Migraine and Headache Specialists - What's So Special? If you need help finding a Migraine specialist, check our listing of Patient Recommended Migraine and Headache Specialists.
I hope this helps.
Nancy
