Patient's question:
When I was at home, I often heard my mom say she had a headache and dizziness. We also took her to the hospital for a thorough examination, checking her neck, heart, and blood. The doctor said she had high blood pressure. Is there a relationship between the headache and high blood pressure? She doesn't hurt all day, but sometimes the headache reappears—is this due to high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Headache and dizziness may be caused by high blood pressure. If a careful check reveals high blood pressure, it is necessary to use antihypertensive drugs for treatment, which can help control the disease. If the blood pressure is controlled after treatment, and besides headache, it is believed to be a tension headache or sinusitis, it is necessary to have a thorough examination to identify the type of the disease. If it is a tension headache, (blood-activating drugs) should be used for treatment, which can help control the condition.
