Can Hypertension Cause Intermittent Headache?
I have had an intermittent headache on the left side for a week. I woke up this morning with a swollen left hand slight pain in my left arm. I may have slept on my left side. My blood pressure was 160/109. I have hypertension and am not on any medication. I took an aspirin. I am able to control my blood pressure with herbal medication. At what point should I consider going to an emergency room?

Hi There
It's advisable that you should start on modern medicine now as your Bp is staying high. Constantly high bp can lead to stroke and debility.
If your BP goes beyond 180/110 then you should go to ER.
Yes hypertension can very well cause headache.
I wish you good health
