What Causes Sharp Head Pain?
Hi, My sister has been having sharp excruciating pain in her head on and off for the last few days,,,, she just told me about this.... she just checked her blood pressure and it is 159 over 105. She quit taking her blood pressure medicine about two months ago. Is she in any danger wit her symptoms?

Hi,
Your sister's symptoms could be due to hypertensive crisis. I advice you to do:
- Detailed EYE & ENT examination in order to rule out underlying bleeding or blood spots if any due to high BP
- Regular BP CHECKUP is mandatory
- To take Analgesics like Naproxen / paracetamol & Triptans
- Antihypertensives regularly
-Relaxation & Stretching exercises
- YOGA
- Avoid exposure to light, noise etc
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
