How Can Severe Headache Be Treated While Suffering From High BP?

I am experiencing an extremely bad back of my head headache with my BP reading 228/112 rt arm 223/99 left arm with an electronic device. I saw a doc last night for the first time in a very long time. Last night at the office it was 150/90. Blood pressure has been high like this off and on for months. I took my first dose today. Linsiprol 20mg This headache is not going away after hours of pain. What should I do?

Hello,

Blood pressure of such a high value is something you should be worried about. Headache is only and only because of high blood pressure in your case. So prompt control of blood pressure which is required in your case. I think use of diuretic like intravenous Furosemide along with other BP lowering medicine is required. You must get admitted for that until blood pressure touches the normal range.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
