Blood Pressure may be Causing Headaches
Posted: 01-26-06 12:33pm

I have had a cold, spike pain in my head for the last couple of weeks. I am used to pain, as I have had h/a for the last 11 years daily. But, this is a new pain. Should I be concerned? Is this just another pain to get used to?

High blood pressure can be causing this new type of headache. I think that your weight (270 lb) is the main reason for your high blood pressure and headache. You can take medicines for blood pressure regularly but also begin to decrease your weight with a healthy diet.
