What Causes Severe Neck Pain And Headache In A Hypertensive Person?

Autonomic neuropathy should be considered.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your query and understand your concerns.
Since you have been to several doctors and had several tests done, i will be quick in sharing my thoughts about your condition.
First condition as a possible culprit that comes in my mind after reading your query is autonomic neuropathy, a condition where small autonomic nerves that supply internal organs, blood vessels as well, are damaged gradually.
Conditions that may cause autonomic neuropathy are diabetes, viral infections, or poisoning with heavy metals and/or toxins.
Another condition that may be related to increase in blood pressure after lying down is dehydration or volume depletion. This situation can cause en exaggerated response in stabilizing blood pressure changes related to body position changes.
I suggest you to discus with your Doctor about evaluating further and being tested about conditions mentioned above, that may cause autonomic neuropathy.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
I remain at your disposal for further questions and clarifications.
Take care.


Best of holidays. XXXXXXX

Welcome back XXXXXXX
Autonomic neuropathy is a rare diagnosis that may affect functions of several internal organs such heart, gastrointestinal tract, urogenital tract and vascular system as well.
These possible dysfunctions are best evaluated by an Internal medicine specialist, who can run appropriate tests and can ask for further consultations.
So, in my opinion, you should discuss with an Internal medicine specialist your concerns.
Best of holidays to you too.
Greetings.
