Blood pressure headache

Posted by ehdog @ehdog, Jan 19 8:55am

Sometimes I get these tension type headaches. I have medicated hypertension and at home just Bp is pretty good.

At my doctor's office, it was 114/?? 80s I think.

I asked my doctor about my tension headaches and she said it's due to BP which worries me because I can get them for weeks. I'm starting propanol.

But does this mean I have high BP for weeks?

To help my migraines I think. Ad well as to keep my heart rate down because it gets high when I'm anxious. I definitely hate white coat syndrome and she seemed hesitant to believe it.

I have these dull headaches she said are BP related but when I take my BP during them my BP is normal if not low. I don't know what to think

@ehdog Propanolol seems to be the first thing tried for migraines, even if BP isn't very high. Do yours come around your period?

I think it's more common around my period as I am having one now and I'm on my period but I can't say it's strictly period related. I don't know I never paid much mind until today
