What Causes Headaches Under Stress When On BP Medication?

I am 39, overweight, non smoking with a history of mild high blood pressure. I am not taking any BP medicine now. My last Dr visit a week or two ago and my BP was elevated. I have been under a lot of stress and have been getting very bad headaches (which I seldom get) especially around my eyes. I have some blurred vision and some dizziness. My head actually has been getting hot when I feel stressed and my my head hurts worse at those times. I was a little concerned this could lead to something like a stroke. Should I be concerned? Thank You, John

Hi.
I've gone through your query and I can understand your anxiety.

Your symptoms collectively might be a outcome of increase in BP. Early warning signs of "HYPERTENSIVE CRISIS " includes, severe headache, Defective vision, difficulty in breathing, palpitations etc.

I advice you,
Lifestyle Modifications :
- Do regular exercises  & be stress free
- Healthy diet with salt restriction
- Avoid smoking, alcohol & fatty diet.
- Consult your doctor for antihypertensive medications ( Amlodipine)
- Eye examination by an ophthalmologist is needed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care.

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician.
