Just want to ask--is your blood pressure usually well controlled? Are you on the right medication (s)? And can you check the BP at home? These things can most probably keep your BP in the normal range most of the time. However, in the ER your BP was high? Did it come down before you were discharged? I'm sorry for the pressure in your head. I use my PCP as my consultant on blood pressure. When it has spiked, he'll usually change the meds around. In any case, I've found it very responsive to treatment. I do keep a daily record when I feel concerned. I suggest work closely with your primary doctor. If it is allergies, probably treating the allergies will improve things. But I certainly understand your concern.
