I suffer form Migraines during my menstruation. Sometimes my blood pressure rises 160's and 90's for about 20 minutes followed by shivers and then it goes down. Normally my blood pressure tends to be on the low side 110/70. Can a migraine cause temporary high blood pressure? Veronica.
Dear Veronica;
Yes, Migraine can cause blood pressure to rise. Please be sure that your doctor is aware of this.
Good luck,
