Relation between High Blood Pressure and Headaches




By Richard Romando

High Blood Pressure and headaches are different though related health issues. Though headache and blood pressure is at times invariably related, it does not necessarily mean that a person is experience headaches because his or her blood pressure is at high levels. Knowledge of certain basic causes of the two would lead to better transparency about their relation.

A headache is a mild or severe pain in the upper portion of the skull. Headaches can be due to neck or back pains, stress, sinusitis, dehydration and a list of possible causes. Severe, repeated episodes of headaches may result in high blood pressure, which is the reason why many people link high blood pressure to headaches.

A High blood pressure as name suggests is the condition when the blood pressure reaches a high level. Blood pressure is the force exerted by blood against the arteries. When the heart beats and pumps blood, the blood pressure is at its highest – known as the systolic pressure. On the other hand, your blood pressure falls when your heart rests between each beat – known as the diastolic pressure.

Systolic and diastolic pressures are indicative of the level of blood pressure. For e.g. in the conventional notation 120/80, systolic is at the top while diastolic is the bottom number. If both numbers become high the person is suffering from high blood pressure and thus is more prone to heart attacks, strokes or kidney disorders.

When the prima condition for high blood pressure is unknown, it is called the essential high blood pressure. Whereas, if the rise in blood pressure is because of medications or health conditions such as headaches, then you have a secondary high blood pressure.

Is Headache Related to High Blood Pressure?

Knowing that people who suffer from high blood pressure often suffer from headaches, and often the latter is invariably accompanying the former, conclusion was made that their high blood pressure was caused by headaches. Contrasting enough it has been found that high blood pressure may reduce the risks of headaches.

It has been found that some patients experience headaches after being diagnosed with high blood pressure. However, experts comment that this phenomena is mostly anxiety driven.
