Hi
I am a 23 year old lady and I am slightly over weight but I am highly stressed out. I have started having the headacnhes that I can't seem to get rid of. And latly I have benn getting them really strong after I eat some pork or something really salty. Should I be running down to the local hospital or am I worring for nothing. Also did I forget to mention that I am afraid of doctors. Let me know something someone please. :?

If you don't have anything other than headaches I wouldn't assume it is hbp. Try going to a drug store and walmart that has a blood pressure machine to use for free and see what that says. I know those aren't super reliable but if it is high it would tell you.

I recently went to my doctor for my high blood pressure and was told to lay off the sodium as much as possible. The stress and the salt can be giving you the headaches so try to relax and lower your salt intake.
