I am having pressure in my head. It has been going on for several hours. My BP is high 150/100 was the highest. I would not call this the worst headache of my life. But it is very annoying. Took extra strenght Tylenols and they are not really doing much. Any advice?

are you on blood pressure medication ? if not, you should be. That's why you have the bad headache.

Kommon,

When I saw your profile I did send you a personal message, did you see it?

As per the headaches, my experience is that your level of BP, normally does not produce headaches (at least not for me).

In your profile you said that you suffer migraines, if this is the case Tylenol will do little or nothing for you, you need an specific treatment set my a neurologist.

Also headaches are better treated as soon as they start, you need something that stop it in about 20-30 minutes, if not it is useless to insist with that medicament, chances are that will not work for you.

If you have a heavy migraine and you are able to move go to ER, they should be able to stop it. My wife suffered migraines for many years, but when they got it, there was 3 full days in a row and the only thing she was able to do was to vomit and stay in bed. That was before the new migraine medicaments arrived.

I get that to but my is when my bp is much higher. I can also hear my pulse in my ear. I also suffer from headaches to but all i can do is lay downin a pitch dark room andsleep it off sometimes it fdoesnt work. So i retaqke my bp and if it is still high i take tylenol even thoi it doesnt work very good it is all i can take. I guess i deal withit but it scares nme tho to. Hope you feel better.

Obviously, your BP is spiking and your getting head pressure.. Why, its spiking - I dont know... When what you describe happens to me - I use aspirin and it works... I eat aspirins for a couple days every 4 hours and the BP usually comes back to normal or more tolerable levels within a few hours.

I get this also, and my BP will be higher when I take it. It is scarily frustrating, but yeah, water and aspirin and trying to relax help me out bunches.

i too found aspirin helps, it thins the blood so i guess there's less chance of it clotting. Certain tablets cause a rise in bp (ibuprofen) in the UK so, be careful what you take, it could be making it higher.
