Suggest Treatment For High Blood Pressure And Headache

I am 63, in good health. I just got over the flu (finished taking Tamiflu yesterday) and perhaps strep. I am halfway thru my Amoxiccillin for strep. I thought I was well but noticed several times during the last week I had a headache. Tonight I couldn't sleep because of the headache and became suspicious maybe high blood pressure was the cause. Sure enough, the average of 3 successive readings over half an hour was 162/96. My pressure is usually in the normal range.
