Question: My 74-year-old husband takes high blood pressure medication and is becoming able to maintain a very reasonable reading with the addition of a diuretic. However, for three weeks, he has been experiencing a constant headache and nausea. His blood work is all normal, and he has had a positive EKG and MRI recently. What might be possible causes?
