What Do You Suggest For High Blood Pressure With Constant Headache When On Excedrin?

Hi, I just found that I have high blood pressure. I've had a constant headache for a few months and started taking Excedrin each four hours. It seemed to help but lately I've been taking up to eight a day. Last night I tested myself and found my blood pressure to be 181/ 106. My wife said it was a faulty machine. I went to the pharmacy and used the machine and my pressure was 171/97. I don't have insurance, I don't have much money.

Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Excedrin is not going to reduce your BP. Its a simple anti migraine medicine. The BP of 170 is sufficient to cause the headache. You need a proper control of BP. Amlodepin should be a good drug for this purpose.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
In future if you wish to contact me directly, or need any further details about the asked query you can use the below mentioned link:
