The pain in your eyes is suggestive for persistent high blood pressure. I usually advise my patients to measure blood pressure for 1 week on daily basis and record the results.
If any of the results will be higher than 150/90, then, I usually advise to take 1 tb of nifedipin (prescription) under the tongue to get it lowered.
You need to discuss this further with your physician.
If after 1 week, your blood pressure would persist high, then, should start medication. Meanwhile, I advise to : - limit salt intake - avoid fatty/fried/processed foods - avoid activities that require lots of stress
Hope it helped! Dr.Sejdini
