I don't know the whole story so apologies if this has been covered already. But:
BP? I would rarely get the most god awful (make you puke) headache. Similar symptoms to a migraine but... The final time I ended up at the ER and when they checked my blood pressure was in triple digits over triple digits. (Insanely high.) Within seconds of applying IV blood pressure meds the headache (and the high BP) backed off and then disappeared.
Been on fairly low dose BP meds ever since - and I haven't had a headache since - been years now. They have no idea what triggered the runaway BP event but consistently taking the meds is working. My normal BP checks have never been remarkable so this did not stand out as something to even be considered until that headache landed me in the ER.
The other thing I'm wondering is if they have done a head/neck CT scan to check for spine issues at the base of the skull. One of those "Doctor, it hurts if I do this" kind of scenarios.
Hi again Fran. I give up - woke up about 04:30 and it looks like I'm staying up so... time for coffee.
Morning,Rick
I got up late this morning.
I got up late this morning.
I had a TIA one time (that I know of) so I am concerned about the blood vessels in the back at the base of my head. That is one of the causes and where my headache originates. If I massage that area they get better and they are the ones you are afraid to move because they are excruciating. I've taken everything to know avail. That's why I was glad one happened during that test. It might show why I get them.I don't know the whole story so apologies if this has been covered already. But:
