Patient's question:
I have had high blood pressure for several years due to my personal dietary habits. However, starting this year, my head has been constantly pounding, so I want to consult an expert about what to do about headaches caused by high blood pressure. Are there any medications that can relieve it? Or is this a new condition?Doctor's answer:
Hello, due to dietary reasons, headaches always recur. It cannot be ruled out that there may be elevated blood pressure or that it is an expression of uncontrolled blood pressure. I suggest you measure your blood pressure. If the blood pressure drops, consider switching to antihypertensive medication or increasing the dosage. My headaches are severe, and I can use drugs that stabilize the circulation and promote blood flow to alleviate the headache. I recommend you to the neurology department for a follow-up visit, undergo a CT examination, and rule out any brain diseases.
