Hi
there are three catagories of hypertension
prehypertension ,mild ,moderate and severe hyopertension
as you have not mentioned you blood pressure i would assume you to be in stage 1 (mild hypertensive)
systolic bp between 140-159 ,diastolic bp in between 90-99
you can start taking a calcium channel blocker like amlodipine
for headache you can take tab vasograin twice daily ( over counter medication)
try to do exercise 45 minutes per day
take a salt restricted diet
avoid oily and spicy food
if the headache is unilateral ( half side of head) it can be migraine also,
in your case elevation in blood pressure can be because of migraine or headche can be because of increased blood pressure
take the medicines and please mention youi age sex ,blood pressure etc in detail
