What Can Be Done For Elevated Blood Pressure Levels Along With Headaches?
I had both ankles x-ray and results showed inflammation in soft tissues. I have HBP (age 62 Female) since 2002 and prescribed, Losartan100mg daily and HCTZ 25 mg was changed 8/1/2018 to Spironoloactone 25mg. I keep headaches (CT Scan was negative, EKG reading okay) and my pressures is stable most of the time when I reduce food with salt which means eating just about nothing except some fruit and water. I don t drink, smoke or use drug...may an Aleve for headache symptoms. What can I do?

Hi,
I would explain that your symptoms do not seem to be related to your current therapy.
Anyway, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam in order to determine the type of headache (which may be a tension-type headache, chronic daily headache, etc.)
In the meantime, Aleve is ok for headaches.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
