What Is The Treatment For Headache, Shortness Of Breath And High Blood Pressure?

Hello My name is Gaurav I have this strange headache problem for which I am trying to find a solution. Problem started almost 5 months back, In the mid of night while sleeping, I heard a bang inside my head. The moment I got up I was sweating and felt like I have a heart attack or something .Somehow, I was stabilized in next few minutes. The next day I had this strange headache on my temples,as if I am wearing a tight band over my head. This head ache continoued for almost a month. My doctor said, it is simply stress. Since that day, I feel fatigued . It has become really difficult for me to concentrate or focus on something. Harder I try, more is headache plus a whistling sound in my ear. I had few more sympotms such shortness of breath, felt like raging pulse/high blood pressure but again the test conducted by doctor were negative. From past 10 days, I am having headache..I would rather not say it as headache but a heavy head, Every morning I get up, my eyes, cheeks and head are really heavy .As the time passes it becomes a bit normal but it starts to worsen by evening. So It becomes difficult for me to even sleep properly as well as get up.Also I noticed that this headache increases whwn ever I sit at home.If go outside, pain is relieved and pressure is also reduced. please suggest what does these symptoms points towrads? What should I do, I am in a terrible condition at this moment. Thank you Gaurav Mehta YYYY@YYYY

Hello Gaurav,
I understand you are in much worry about your headache..

From description given by you, I understand that you are having tension headache and anxiety..

let me explain you what is tension headache.. "tension" here does not mean worries but it means tension (stress) created in scalp muscles..
it is observed that peoples having stressful schedule has tensed muscles causing headache, backache, bodyache etc...
typically quality of pain is streching type or feeling of heaviness

other symptoms you described which are. fatigue, shortness of breath, difficulty in concentration are typical symptoms of physical anxiety

for treatment, there are medicines available which helps in anxiety and various pains caused by it

i can not stress enough the role of life style modification in your problem..
ex.. yoga and relaxation would be of immense help

finding time for doing things u enjoy will be of immense help

quit any addiction if you have

take time for light exercise daily

have a regular schedule as much as possible
