Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms.

The symptoms are suggestive of migraine with hypertension (high blood pressure).

You need anti-hypertensive medication to bring the blood pressure down. Good options include telmisartan and olmesartan tablets.

Amlodipine tablets for BP control should be avoided in your case, as it may exacerbate your migraine headaches.

In addition, beta blockers may be used to control the migraine.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
     
Best wishes,
