Hello,

You can safely take calcium channel blockers (CCBs) for a migraine headache and high blood pressure (hypertension). CCBs relax blood vessels and help to control hypertension. These group of medicines is also effectively used for the prevention of migraine headaches.

Please, ask your Doctor to prescribe CCBs (verapamil) for hypertension and migraine headaches.

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