What Causes Severe Headaches Along With Elevated Blood Pressure Levels?

I ve had bad headaches for the last three days. I ve checked my blood pressure several times, and my systolic numbers are always very high and my diastolic numbers are normal. This morning, my BP was 173/74. I ve taken ibuprofen for the headaches, which helps sometimes, but it doesn t last long. The headaches come right back.
