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.

I'm really worried about my dad. He's had a stroke and a bypass in the past, and his heart rate usually hangs around 55 to 60. I've heard about Chymoral AP and Myoril for his lower back pain, but I'm concerned if it's safe for him to take because of his heart condition. Could you please guide me on this?

Chymoral AP and Myoril can be risky for your father due to his history of stroke and bypass surgery, as well as his low heart rate. Chymoral AP contains Trypsin, Chymotrypsin, and Paracetamol which can increase the risk of bleeding, especially in patients with a history of stroke. Myoril contains Thiocolchicoside which can cause muscle weakness and dizziness, potentially increasing the risk of falls in someone with a history of stroke. Given his low heart rate, both medications can further lower the heart rate and blood pressure, leading to complications. It is important to consult with his healthcare provider to find a safer alternative for his lower back pain.

I've noticed that almost every time I shout or scream while at church, I start feeling really lightheaded and dizzy, almost like I might pass out. It's like I have to close my eyes and hold onto something just to stay steady. Is this normal, or could it be a sign of something more? What's going on with my body when this happens?

The symptoms of lightheadedness, dizziness, and feeling like passing out after shouting or screaming at church may be related to a vasovagal response, a common condition where the nervous system overreacts to stress or excitement, causing a temporary drop in blood pressure and heart rate, and it's recommended to consult a md medicine to rule out other potential causes, such as dehydration, anxiety, or underlying heart conditions.
