What causes hypertension headaches?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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 currently taking Telma 40mg twice a day as my doctor recommended, but I accidentally bought Telma 20 instead. To make up for it, I've been taking two Telma 20 tablets each time. Is this okay, or did I mess up? Should I be concerned about any risks with doubling up like this?
No, as long as the dosage remains the same, it should not cause any significant issues.

I'm worried because my homocysteine levels are really high, like around 58.9, but my blood pressure is normal and I don't have diabetes. What steps should I take or things should I consider at this point?
High homocysteine levels can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. To lower your homocysteine levels, you can take a combination of folic acid, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12. I recommend taking a tablet of Fol-5 Plus once daily, which contains the appropriate combination of these vitamins to help lower homocysteine levels. Additionally, it is important to maintain a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Regular exercise can also help in reducing homocysteine levels.

I've been dealing with low blood pressure, and whenever I'm lying down, it drops to around 90 over 55. It's pretty unsettling because I feel lightheaded when that happens. I've tried drinking saltwater and coffee, but it doesn't seem to help much. I've read that having a low diastolic blood pressure could lead to heart failure since the coronary heart artery gets its supply during diastole. Is this true? And what steps can I take to prevent my blood pressure from falling below safe levels? Also, is having such low blood pressure dangerous?
Low blood pressure can indeed lead to symptoms like lightheadedness, especially when changing positions. To help manage your low blood pressure, you can try increasing your salt intake and staying hydrated. Additionally, wearing compression stockings can help improve blood flow. In terms of medication, you can consider taking Midodrine to help raise your blood pressure. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consult with your healthcare provider for proper management.
