What Causes High Blood Pressure And Headache During Sex/exercise?
I am a 52 year old female and I was recently diagnosed with hypertension because of a headache I would get during sex or exercise. I exercise 6 days a week and eat a totally organic diet with no processed foods. I only drink filtered water and green tea. I take supplements every day. My blood pressure was 189/108. I am not overweight but do have high stress as a caregiver for a handicapped teenager. I don't want to take medication but have started Cozaar and Dyazide. Why is this happening?

Hi,
Even if your lifestyle is good, you can still have blood pressure because it's also a age related change and genes in our body. But If you have it, you need to take medicine for that, otherwise it might be detrimental. Monitor your resting BP, low salt diet. Also get one lipid profile and sugars tested. Also get renal function test done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sagar Makode
