Suffering From Headache,cough,throat Pain And High BP

I do not feel sick, but I recently acquired a cough. I have to clear my throat, like my sinuses are running. But when I cough I get a sharp pain in my right temple. Sometimes it hurts very much, but does not last for more than a couple of minutes. I take medication for high blood pressure but my BP has been pretty good. I had an angiogram last august and my doctor doubled my BP medication. A few days later my vision went blurry. When I look down, to the side, or try to look at something close up I see double. I have been to two different eye doctors and they said I had temporary paralysis of the nerves that control the muscles that control the movement of my eyes. They said it should improve in time because they said my eyes were healthy. A month after my angiogram my doctor changed my BP medication, which helped stabilize my BP , but vision has not improved in 8 months. I get headaches towards the end of the day, almost everyday. I take aspire or Advil to relieve the pain. I don t know if the new pain in my temples when I cough or sneeze is related to my vision problems. When I get the pain it also radiates into my neck and my vision even gets worse.

Hello

Welcome in H.C.M.

Regarding your query for headache, cough and throat pain while you are already taking treatment for high blood pressure.

As you said that you are having sinus issue that may be responsible fo your throat problem as post nasal drip is well known for this type of sore throat. Another very important cause of cough in your case may be the role of anti hypertensive medicines. Because the ace inhibitors are very commonly use for controlling blood pressure and they are well known for giving rise to irritation in throat.

your next query is for pain over temple may be because of venous congestion due to increase intrathorasic pressure by vigrous coughing, and same may be responsible for blurring of vision too.

Probably you got the answer of your query

Regards.
