What does high blood pressure headache feel like?

Doctor 1

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've had this chest pain for about three days now. I did an ECG and the doctor wrote 'TWNL' on it. Does that mean everything's normal? Also, I've attached my troponin T test report and need to know if it looks okay. Should I be worried about a heart problem? Can you take a look at my report, please?

The term "TWNL" in your ECG report stands for "T wave normal limit", indicating that the T wave on your ECG is within normal limits. Elevated levels of troponin T in the blood can indicate damage to the heart muscle, such as in the case of a heart attack. It is important to know the specific value of your troponin T levels to determine if they are within normal range. For chest pain lasting 3 days and concerning ECG findings, it is recommended to follow up with your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management.

I'm having a lot of pain under my left breast, and sometimes it spreads to my back, neck, and arm. I'm on tolperitas D and GR 8, but I'm not really feeling any better. Should I be worried, or is there something else I can try? What could this pain mean?

The severe pain below the left breast, radiating to the back, neck, and arm, may indicate a musculoskeletal issue, costochondritis, or even a cardiac-related condition; given the ineffectiveness of Tolperis-D and GR-8, consider consulting a specialist, such as a cardiologist, gastroenterologist, or pain management specialist, for a thorough evaluation, including diagnostic tests like ECG, ultrasound, or MRI, to determine the underlying cause and develop an effective treatment plan.
