Hello

I can understand your concerns.

You are having high blood pressure persistently. The headaches are due to this.

I think you should consult a physician for the proper treatment of hypertension.

Drugs like amlodipine and telmisartan will help to control blood pressure.

As soon as BP is controlled, headaches will disappear.

Avoid salt in your foods.
Donot take oily fatty food.

Thanks.
