Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

Persistant headaches must always be evaluated by a physician, because they can indicate many different problems including hypertension, allergies, migraines, and so much more.
My dad had alot of blood pressure related headaches, and his were worse in the morning, and he felt pain and pressure on the top of his head, and sometimes in his forehead. As soon as he was diagnosed and prescribed medication diet changes, the headaches stopped.
Please make an appointment with the doctor, if you do not have hypertension, and it is something minor, at least you will have peace of mind.

Hypertension, commonly referred to as "high blood pressure", is a medical condition where the blood pressure is chronically elevated. While it is formally called arterial hypertension, the word "hypertension" without a qualifier usually refers to arterial hypertension. Hypertension gives the highest risk of heart attack or stroke than any other disease. Persistent hypertension is one of the risk factors for strokes, heart attacks, heart failure and arterial aneurysm, and is a leading cause of chronic renal failure.

Hypertension can be classified as either essential or secondary. Essential hypertension is the term used when no specific medical cause can be found to explain a patient's condition. Secondary hypertension means that the high blood pressure is a result of (i.e. secondary to) another condition, such as kidney disease or certain tumors.

Hypertension is usually found incidentally - "case finding" - by healthcare professionals. It normally produces no symptoms.

Malignant hypertension (or accelerated hypertension) is distinct as a late phase in the condition, and may present with headaches, blurred vision and end-organ damage.

It is recognised that stressful situations can increase the blood pressure;

Hypertension is often confused with mental tension, stress and anxiety. While chronic anxiety is associated with poor outcomes in people with hypertension, it alone does not cause it.

They can be, but are not necessarily.

When HBP causes headaches, that can be a sign of a very serious medical condition that is a medical emergency.

Answer 7

Not necessarily. Head ache directly attributable to high blood pressure is "occipital" ie referred to back of the head .

Answer 8

Not necessarily. They can be a sign of stress, depression, poor diet, too much caffeine or a number of other things. Speak to your doctor about it.
