What Causes Severe Headache And High BP After Injury?
I was having pounding headaches at the base of my head where i couldn't even look down. I never had high blood pressure before in fact it is normally low. My blood pressure is 170 over 98, I did have a fall off a chair at work a month ago so they are doing a head scan to see if it isn't a post concussion. What do you think it could be?

Hello,
Regarding your head injury, it is always advisable to get a CT Brain plain done after an event of head injury.
If the CT Brain/MRI is normal, then get an x-ray of cervical spine done to rule out any nerve compression injury in the Neck region. For Pain and inflammation, take Diclofenac or Aceclofenac drug.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
