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 been noticing some strange smells for the past monthmost foods just don't smell right to me. It hasn't gone away, and on top of that, I've been dealing with chest pains for the last couple of days, especially when I lie down to sleep. Do you think I should see a doctor about this? Also, why do things smell so weird to me? Plus, I'm feeling really tense all the time.

I got over covid a couple of weeks ago, but my heart rate has been up since then. I did an ECG and an Echo test. The Echo came back normal, but the ECG mentioned something about Early Repolarization. Is this something I should be worried about? My heart rate was 120 during covid, and its now down to 100. What should I do?

Early Repolarization on an ECG is a common finding and is usually considered a benign condition, especially in young and healthy individuals. Since your Echo report is normal and your heart rate has decreased from 120 to 100, it is a positive sign. However, it is important to continue monitoring your symptoms and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation if needed. In the meantime, you can focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle and regular exercise routine to support your heart health.

I'm really concerned about my 17-year-old brother. His blood pressure reading came back as 154 over 90, but his other test results were all normal. What could this mean? Should he start taking medication for it? I'm just trying to figure out what the best course of action is.

for a 17-year-old with a blood pressure reading of 15490, the high blood pressure could be due to various factors such as stress, poor diet, lack of exercise, or genetics. It is important to monitor his blood pressure regularly to see if it remains high. In some cases, lifestyle changes such as improving diet and exercise may be enough to lower blood pressure. However, if his blood pressure remains high, medication may be necessary to prevent complications. I recommend starting with lifestyle changes and monitoring his blood pressure closely. If medication is needed, he may be prescribed a medication like Amlodipine 5mg once daily.
