Suggest Remedy For Pain In Hematoma
My blood pressure is normally 12/72ish. I have a preexisting (old) subdural hematoma to left posterior upper hemisphere (parietal lobe?). I was in a heated arguement approx 6 hours ago, felt a sharp pain in area of hematoma and my BP is 164/82 with manual cuff and automated cuff. Am I in trouble or should I do anything?

Transient rise of blood pressure may occur during exertion, tension or anxiety . Headache may occur with much rise in blood pressure which is holocranial. Unilateral headache may be due to some other cause like migraine or cluster headache. In your case persistence of headache and vomiting or focal limb weakness may be indicator of serious problem and then should be evaluated. For now you need to relax and monitor your blood pressure regularly and consult if progression or new symptoms appears. Be healthy and jolly
