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.

View allMy dad had a minor heart attack on November 7th, and he had a bypass operation back in 2008 in the UK. I'm really worriedis this something we should be super concerned about given his history? What can we do to prevent this from getting worse?
Since he had a minor heart attack, it's important for him to follow the doctor's recommendations for recovery. In addition to any prescribed medications, it's crucial for him to make lifestyle changes such as eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking. Given his history of heart issues, he may be prescribed medications such as aspirin to prevent blood clots, a beta-blocker like Metoprolol to reduce strain on the heart, and a statin like Atorvastatin to lower cholesterol levels. It's important for him to take these medications as directed by his doctor to help prevent future heart issues.

I'm really confused about my recent echo results. Two months ago, it showed mild tricuspid valve regurgitation, and after making some lifestyle changes and a follow-up echo, it's now showing trivial regurgitation and valve thickening. I'm not sure what these changes mean or what I should do next. Can you help me understand what's going on and what steps I should take to address this? I've included my report if that helps.
Based on the information provided, it seems like there has been an improvement in the tricuspid valve regurgitation from mild to trivial, which is a good sign. To address the trivial regurgitation and valve thickening, I recommend continuing with your healthy lifestyle changes and following up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. In terms of medication, you can consider taking a diuretic like Lasix (furosemide) to help reduce any fluid buildup and ease the workload on the heart. Additionally, an ACE inhibitor like Lisinopril can help reduce blood pressure and lessen the strain on the heart. It's important to have regular follow-up appointments with your doctor to monitor any changes in your condition and adjust your treatment plan accordingly. If you have any symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, or swelling, please seek medical attention promptly. Remember, lifestyle modifications, medication adherence, and regular medical follow-ups are key in managing heart conditions.
