Suggest Treatment For Constant Headaches And Toothaches

I have recently went to the dentist for a cracked, infected tooth. With the beginning of the toothache, I had a constant headache. Now, I have no tooth pain but the headache is still there. The headache sometimes feels like someone is strangling me. Is this from the infection in my tooth or something I should have looked at. My blood pressure was slighlty elevated at the dentist office.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain headache can be commonly seen in case of infected tooth as a radiating pain from the tooth site..
But in case if you have headache even after resolution of infection from tooth then it can be due to tension headache while high blood pressure be a cause..

I would suggest you to consult a Physician and get evaluated and a clinical evaluation and investigations like x-ray of tooth or MRI scan if it is not tooth related problem has to be done to rule out the cause and can be treated accordingly..

As of now take painkillers and also avoid meditation and yoga to relieve stress..
Take appropriate rest..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
