High blood pressure can cause you to have a headache, and this kind of headache signals an emergency. This occurs when your blood pressure becomes dangerously high. A hypertension headache will usually occur on both sides of your head and is typically worse with any activity.

View allI'm trying to understand how serious mild pulmonary hypertension is and if there's a way to stop it from getting worse. Is it possible to treat it before it becomes severe?
Mild pulmonary hypertension is a condition where the blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs is slightly higher than normal. It can cause symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, chest pain, and fainting. If left untreated, it can progress to more severe stages. Treatment for mild pulmonary hypertension aims to manage symptoms and prevent progression to more severe stages. Medications such as Sildenafil (Revatio) or Tadalafil (Adcirca) can help improve blood flow in the lungs and reduce symptoms. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor the condition and adjust treatment as needed. In some cases, lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding smoking can also help manage mild pulmonary hypertension. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider for a personalized treatment plan.

I'm a 46-year-old guy who's a bit on the heavier side. I've always been healthy, but lately, they've told me I've got hypertension. I'm not a fan of allopathic medicine because I'm worried about the long-term side effects. Do you have any natural treatment options for dealing with hypertension?

I've been having some trouble with my blood pressure readings. My right arm was at 14296, while the left was 12487. Is this something I should be worried about? On top of that, I've been dealing with feelings of depression and constant negative thoughts. My doctor told me I have some gastric issues like LAX CARDIA, EROSIVE ESOPHAGITIS, and ANTRAL EROSIVE GASTROPATHY. I've been on medication for a while, but they don't seem to be helping. Plus, my upper back has been aching, probably because I'm sitting a lot at work. Could you give me some advice on what I should do?
Regarding your blood pressure difference between your right and left arms, it is important to monitor this discrepancy and follow up with your healthcare provider. It could indicate underlying vascular issues that need to be addressed. As for your feelings of depression and negative thoughts, it is crucial to seek support from a mental health professional for proper evaluation and management. For your gastric issues including LAX CARDIA EROSIVE ESOPHAGITIS and ANTRAL EROSIVE GASTROPATHY, the medications you have been taking may need adjustment. You can try taking a proton pump inhibitor like Esomeprazole (brand name Nexium) along with a prokinetic agent like Metoclopramide (brand name Reglan) for better control of your symptoms. To manage your upper back pain due to prolonged sitting, you can try over-the-counter pain relievers like Ibuprofen (brand name Advil) for pain and inflammation. Additionally, incorporating regular stretching exercises and maintaining a good posture at work can help alleviate the discomfort. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific health needs.
