Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been having a precistant headache for the last few days and i decided to check my blood pressure last night and it was 170 over 90. a few minutes ago my head started hurting more so and i checked it again it was 180 over 90 what should i do?
It seems that you're having high blood pressure problems. Immediate consultation with a cardiologist is highly recommended. If cannot make it as soon as possible, then go to the emergency room now to get further tests and prescription low blood pressure medicines. Avoid caffeinated drinks and high-calorie foods.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regard, Dr. Albana Sejdini
