Suggest Remedy For Severe Headaches

I had surgery on left ankle for the second time and after recovery I started having seizures one after the other the procedure was done outpatient. However, I was rush to the hospital and my bottom number for my blood pressure was 200 I stayed three days before released. Three weeks later I am having bad headaches this the same thing that happened the first time I have my ankle surgery. Also my blood pressure is very high which it has never been like this before either surgeries. I do have Epilepsy. I do have a Neurologist and I take Topmax as well as Dilianti. When I left the hospital they gave me Valium which is something I have never taken before. My pain meds were Norco and Percocet I did not take them together. I only took the Norco 2 every 4 to 6 hrs. but I would take the as need for pain. I hate taking meds. I never took the other pain meds when I ran out of Norco. They gave me a new med for my headache Amitriptyline HCI 10 on 5 days at bedtime and the two there after. The other me they said it would take take three days to come in Sumatriptan. I am on BP meds Amiodipine Besvlate 2.5 I was on 5 mg and they said my pressure was good was the dropped me to 2.5mg and was going to take me off because they felt I didn t need it. Now my pressure is 180\90. The Headache Girl
