I Have Been Having Headaches Frequently The Last Several Months,

Yes, it could be related to BP
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
There are multiple causes for headaches, but in your case, the probable reason is high BP. Now if high BP is correlating with episodes of headaches, then it's a likely cause of headaches.
So you should get your high BP treated with antihypertensive like amlodipine or Telmisartan, and see for the response.
If headaches still persist then might need to think on the line migraine (especially if its throbbing half sided headache and associated with nausea vomiting).
So in a nutshell, it needs medication as its significantly elevated. You should also undergo some routine tests like renal function tests, renal artery doppler to find out the cause for high BP.
Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.

No, not recommended to work with such severe headaches
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Headaches can be very debilitating and may affect the quality of work badly. So better to rest in such situations.
Besides hypertension headache and migraine, I guess you don't have any allergies like rhinitis nasal blockages associated with headaches, as it can be a cause for headache in some individuals.
All the best.
