Could The Knot In The Neck Be The Cause Of High Diastolic Reading?
I have a knot in the upper part of the back of my neck which I attributed to poor sleeping posture. A week ago I developed a really strong headache and went to the doctor. I had my bllod pressure checked and it was 166/111...my systolic is usually around 125-130 and my diastolic never goes over 82. I had been under stress for a few days, but have been eating well. The Diastolic is lingering in the 90 s even with meds. Is it possible that the knot has anything to do with it?

Yes. High blood pressure can cause throbbing headache or neck pain. It even can be correlated with Hypertension HEART disease.
