What does high blood pressure headache feel like?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
According to the research available, most studies show that headache is not a symptom of high blood pressure unless a person is in hypertensive crisis. Hypertensive crisis is a medical emergency where blood pressure is more than 180/120 mm Hg with other symptoms such as nose bleed, chest pain and breathlessness. During this episode, headache can occur which is usually on both sides, pulsating type and increases with activity.

I'm kind of worried because my recent TMT test was mildly positive, yet my cholesterol, BP, and ECG results were all normal. My doctor is suggesting an angiogram, but it's pretty expensive for me. Do you think it's really necessary to go through with it?
A mildly positive TMT test result, especially when other parameters like cholesterol, blood pressure, and ECG are normal, may indicate a potential issue with blood flow to the heart. An angiogram is considered the gold standard for evaluating blockages in the coronary arteries. However, in some cases, additional non-invasive tests such as a CT coronary angiography may provide further information before proceeding with an invasive procedure. It is important to discuss the necessity and potential alternatives with your doctor based on your individual health situation.

My mom's been feeling really heavy in her chest and super tired since like 4 in the morning today. She doesn't have any heart issues, but she does sometimes deal with gastric problems. She also has thyroid. Could this be related to that, or do you think it's something else we should be worried about? What should we do next?
Based on the symptoms described, it is possible that your mother is experiencing acid reflux or heartburn. I recommend she take an antacid medication such as Tums (calcium carbonate) 500mg to help relieve the symptoms. She can take 2 tablets as needed, but not exceeding 7 tablets in 24 hours. It is also important for her to avoid spicy and acidic foods that can trigger acid reflux. Additionally, given her history of thyroid issues, it is important to ensure that her thyroid levels are well-controlled as thyroid imbalances can sometimes contribute to gastrointestinal symptoms. I recommend she follow up with her healthcare provider to discuss her symptoms and thyroid management.
