Brief Answer:
Please refer to the detailed answer below
Detailed Answer:
Hello
After going through the medical details provided by you I can understand your concern for your health and I would like to tell you that zig zag lines do not raise the bp per se but the stress and anxiety occurring due to that can surely leads to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure.
Also the pain that happens in migraine increases the sympathetic tone which can also contribute to increase in blood pressure.
You need to stay calm and relax yourself. I would like to suggest you to start doing yoga or meditation to control your stress levels.
Hope to have been helpful.
Kind Regards
