I Have An Headache I Am Achy Had Cold Chills For Two Days.
i have an headache i am achy had cold chills for two days on and off and my BP is 136 I have been experiencing headache for the last three weeks. The first week being the worst. Followed by chest pains. My BP meds have been changed twice already started with 2.5mg used that for 6 years then when headaches started they changed it to 60mg, with no relief they changed it to 120mg which i have been on for the last week. Headaches not that bad, but i currently have on about a 4 out of 10, last night i had 2 series of cold chills. Went to fire department to get BP read and my BP is 136/100 on the right and 136/98 on the left. No chest pain today but just wondering should i go to the hospital?

Welcome to Healthcare Magic
Headache and chills could be related to high blood pressure if there is any bleeding inside the brain but could be unlikely because you are conscious and oriented. But it could also mean an infection somewhere in your body. Possibly sore throat or runny nose. Could be sinusitis. You can do steam inhalation if any of these are present. Get an ENT consult as well in such a case. Get your blood sugar tested to rule out Diabetes. Get your eyes tested to rule out uncorrected refractive error. Avoid junk, fatty, fried or oily food. Eat plenty of fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables. Exercise daily by brisk walking 40 minutes a day. Consult your Doctor about the BP meds if it is not controlling your blood pressure. Avoid stress. Do Yoga and Pranayam as stress can also cause headache, sleep problems.

Hello, welcome to HCM. Your fever and bodyache can not be associated with blood pressure. There has to be some other reason for it which needs to be worked out. You should visit hospital immediately not only for fever buta also for getting your BP medicines reevaluated. Your blood pressure is still on the higher side despite medication. Wish you good health.
