Posted on Tue, 24 May 2016

Question: I have been having low grade headaches for several weeks accompanied by hot flashes

As I have beyon blood pressure medication for many years would this diagnosis indicate that my medication should be changed?

Brief Answer:
Changes in blood pressure and thyroid to be considered.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your query and understand your concerns.

Low grade headaches in your case may be caused by changes in blood pressure.

Hot flashes may indicate hormonal imbalances such those related to thyroid gland function.

In my opinion, it is necessary to monitor your blood pressure for few days.

Blood tests about thyroid gland function also are needed ( TSH, FT3 ) in order to diagnose your condition correctly.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
