What Should Be Done For Constant High BP, Severe Migraines With No Help From Painkillers?

Hi My BP has been said to be high over the last couple of months by my GP on several occasions. I suffer from terribl eheadaches / migraines and am on pain killers, Synaleve, Maxalat and now Topmax. I have not been able to nreak my head ache over the last couple of days at al so I went to the nereast clinic to test my BP - the tested it twice and it was 180 /130. My mom has had a couple of couple of strokes - the initialled one left her totalay parlysed on her rights side, speech disabled and sever frontal obe syndrome - this is my biggest fear. What should I be doing
