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 allI've been dealing with some stuff after getting COVID and it's kind of worrying me. So, I'm a 22-year-old guy, and after COVID I noticed my heart rate was going up. My doctor put me on Nebicard 2.5, and I've been taking it since November 2021. It's helped with slowing my heart rate, but now it's sometimes dropping below 60 bpm. At home, my blood pressure readings are like 109121 with 6075 and sometimes 11569. But whenever I go to the doctor's office, it spikes because I'm so nervous. All my ECG and echo tests look normal though. Is there a way for me to maybe reduce the dosage of Nebicard? I'm trying to figure out if that's something I should be doing or if I should keep going as is. Can you give me some advice on this?
Since your heart rate has been well controlled with Nebicard 2.5 and your ECG and echo results are normal, it is important to consult with your doctor before making any changes to your medication dosage. However, if you are looking to reduce the dosage, you can discuss with your doctor about switching to Nebicard 2.5 every other day or reducing the dosage to Nebicard 1.25 under their guidance. It is important to monitor your heart rate and blood pressure regularly while adjusting the dosage.

I've been having this neck pain near my carotid pulse for a few days now, and it's like this sharp pain that comes and goes. My carotid pulse feels like it's beating strongly and sometimes fast. The first time it started was when I almost got mad at my boss. I also noticed my neck felt tight, and my tie was a bit snug. The next day, I checked my blood pressure at a clinic, and it was normal. I'm worried about what's going on. Do you think this is something I should be concerned about?
ecg ,cardiac markers and cardiologist opinion is advised.

I'm a bit confused about something in my recent medical results. My ECHO came back showing normal pulmonary arteries, but I've been told I might have mild PHT. How is it possible to have mild pulmonary hypertension if the echo indicates the arteries are fine? What should I make of this?
Yes, it is possible to have mild pulmonary hypertension (PHT) even when the ECHO shows that the pulmonary arteries are normal. In such cases, treatment may involve medications such as sildenafil (Revatio) or tadalafil (Adcirca) to help manage the symptoms and improve quality of life. The dosage and duration of treatment would depend on the severity of the condition and should be determined by a healthcare professional.
