Hello,

After going through your medical detail, I understand your concern for your health, and I would like to tell you that blood pressure is an ever-changing phenomenon and can’t remain constant every hour as it depends on our actions. Emotional state, stress levels, and other physiological phenomena. During a headache, your blood pressure may rise, but for that, you need to take pain relieving meds instead of anti-hypertensive drugs. Continue with your healthy lifestyle and keep your blood pressure under 140/90 mmHg.


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

Regards,
Dr. Bhanu Partap
