Suggest Treatment For High BP Along With Migraine Headaches

My blood pressure has been on the high side for over a year! Recently high 140's to 158 today systolic, 80 to 85 today diastolic! I am having severe headaches, migraines, very frequently and sometimes lasting days (4-6) at a time! I have suffered with migraines since being a child! I also have arthritis of the spine bottom to top! A few years ago, by way of xray, a doctor told me that the space from base of neck to uppermost is getting very small! That my primary Dr has to keep watch!! He has not! I have been suffering with migraine for 2 days again! All the symptoms, took my AXERT! It helped for a couple hours then back with vengeance! My Dr gave me injections of diladid and tordohl about 3 this afternoon! They eased headache, but not 100% laid down, slept for a few hours only to wake to a severe migraine and symptoms!!! Is it possible that my high blood pressure is causing migraines or playing a part? I am also very dizzy, nausea to point of fighting throwing up, off balance, sensitivity to light, eyes hurting badly and pressure pain over left eye!!! Should I seek medical attention at our local Urgent Care department? Add8tional info, diagnosed Tuesday with influenza and pneumonia! Given Tamiflu, still taking it! I would appreciate any help, advice, info!!

All your symptoms are suggestive of severe migraine..
Blood pressure doesn't seem to be very high..
For migraine in addition to taking medications you need to avoid some foods which you are allergic to if any and most important you need to get rid of tensions and stress..
You can take a course of flunarizine or amytryptiline for migraine along with pain killers which you are already taking..
