I have fought chronic headaches, both migraine and tension for thirty years. Recently, I was diagnosed with hypertension, after not seeing an MD for 5 years. For the first week or so, after filling my scripts, I felt much better and I was hopeful. That was about one month ago. I have had a constant headache, sometimes about a 5 but it has eased off to about a 2-3, since April 16. My husband, who is a retired Nurse Practictioner, took my blood pressure on Sunday. The diastolic was 98. He gave me some samples of a hypertension med but it's not helping; or perhaps it is too soon? If things don't change by tomorrow, I will make an appt to see my MD on Friday. I am looking for suggestions of meds that helped with the hypertension headache in particular. Also, am I nuts? Of course, my husband has suggested that my blood pressure may be high because I am coping with a chronic headache! Ugh.
