I was caught in the rain yesterday then when I get back at my office my head started aching.....
But the headache I had felt so different from the usual headache I have. My backneck was all stiff and I felt like it was engorged with blood ready to explode anytime. I can't even turn my head up/down or even side ways.
What could it be? It could be a sign of me starting to have high-blood? Thanks!
p.s.our family has a high blood problem history

P.S. I went to lay to bed and all seemed fine, but when I stood up, the head ache and backache came again last night.
Now, this morning, when I woke up, I thought I was okay, it came back again for a bit. But now I am okay.

3 years ago, I was diagnosed - hypertension with a reading of 160/100. I used to feel dizzy a lot, my legs had awful cramps, and levels were very low in my potassium, causing my fingers and toes to always cramp together. One day I started to feel really faint while I was driving with my daughter in the back seat and I passed out, hitting 3 cars and ending up in a ditch. That moment,I knew I had to do something because my meds weren't working. I heard about this diet from a friend and thought I'd give it a shot. The results have been remarkable. In just 21 days, I honestly can't remember feeling this good, my blood pressure went from 175/110 to 125/70.

Sounds like a tension headache. It worries me that you've never had it before though. The fact that it came back when you stood up makes me worry a little bit about blood pressure. It would have to be astronomically high to cause a headache. If it is that high, you need emergency treatment to lower it *now.* General rule of thumb: whenever you get a headache that you've never felt before, it's a good idea to get it checked out. Most of the time it will turn out to be just a new onset tension or migraine headache, but on rare occasions they might find something serious.

Hi blood pressure has no symptoms. that is why it is called the silent killer. Get your pressure checked. It may be high blood pressure or it could be something else.

if you were caught in the rain and have a stiff neck is it not just maybe a cold in the head. if you have family history of hugh blood pressure you probably better asking your family their symptoms. headaches can be one but not normally just on their own but then im not a doctor... let us know.x

[Need to know age, medical history and drug usage]
You need to see your health provider.[ASAP]
Try to get a referral to a circulatory expert [like Southern Heart Group] Every city has them.
You may have high blood pressure
You may be having heart problems or a stroke.

Most hypertension is symptomless, reason it is known as the "silent killer", for you to feel symptoms, if would be in dangerously high caterorgies, severe headaches, etc. See a doctor now!
