Patient's question:
I have had high blood pressure for a long time. Recently, I don't know why I often get headaches. How should I treat headaches caused by high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Hypertension causes headaches. This condition is generally related to cerebral arteriosclerosis and insufficient blood supply to the brain, which then reflexively leads to hypertension. Therefore, if treating this condition, the first step is to control blood pressure because sustained high blood pressure may pose a risk of recurrent cerebral hemorrhage. Additionally, it is important to stabilize cerebral blood circulation and enhance the oxygen supply to the brain. Correcting the state of cerebral ischemia and hypoxia is best achieved by visiting a hospital or clinic for follow-up and using appropriate medications under the guidance of a physician.
