What Causes Persistent Headaches And High BP?
I was recently at the ER with a heart rate of 220, I was given an injection of something and every since then I have been having a headache and my blood pressure has been higher than normal, even after I take a lisinopril 10 to lower it. Could the medication I was given gave me a lasting headache as well?

welcome to hcm...as far as i know there is no drug which can cause persistent high BP..so please remove this misconceptions from your mind that that injection gave you high bp ..high bp may cause high BP..and sometimes 2 or 3 drugs are needed to control bp ..some of my patients are taking 3 drugs for bp control ...cut down on salty fried foods ...fast foods and meat and coffee etc also
