High BP, Headache, Chest Infection Associated With A Cold. History Of Migraines. Should I See My Doctor With This BP?
Question: Hello, my blood pressure is 180 over 106. I have a headache at the back of my head, just above my neck. I also have slight chest infection associated with a cold. I do suffer with migraines but this is not a migraine pain; maybe sinus type pain. Should I see my GP with this BP?
