Suggest Home Remedy For Headache And Elevated BP?
I m not sure what to do, I ve had a headache for the past 3 days, and my b/p is 133/101. I have no health insurance and was turned away at the e.r. Because I did not have $250 to pay up front. Is there anything I can do at home to help alleviate some of the pressure I feel in my head or to help lower my b/p until I can get the money to see a doctor? Thanks, Tammy

Hi Tammy.
You are welcome to healthcaremagic.
Firstly i would say stop panicking and taking stress.The more you panick the more worse it will become.You do have a high pressure ,but not a reading which needs emergency attention.You did not mention which side of head you are feeling the pain.But for now wherever the pain is, you can always take over the counter analgesics.This will definitely give you relief.
Dont stay empty stomach,eat good food and try to sleep.All this will definitely help alleviate your symptoms.
Take care
