My mother was diagnosed with depression triggered blood pressure. Doctor diagnosed her with low levels of seratinin hormone. She showed symtoms of sleeplessness, depression, high BP, severe headaches. Following 2 yr medictaion her condition stabilised. Five days back her BP shot up and she was hospitalised for 2 yrs.

A "5 day severe headache" and you wait until a Saturday then come here and ask strangers for help? What's wrong with you? Severe headaches, especially when unexplained, could be a stroke, tumor, aneurysm. Turn off the damned computer and take her to the doctor or hospital! Are you just waiting for it to get worse?
