it causes me headache!!!and the most of time im very tired my doctor doesnt wana gimme any remedy???coz im young i drink coffee and lots of liquid but it doesnt help in last few weeks i have been sleeping like 10 hours per night
im fond of art{drawing} but recently i havent got time for it as im too tired has anyone ever had same problem ?how did you figure it out?

I normally have blood pressure about 120/75. But sometimes my blood pressure drops and it makes me feel very bad, a dreamlike state, dizzy, weak, bad motor skills… On such an occasion if I measure my blood pressure the values are well below what’s normal for me. I don’t take any medication besides birth control pills and I’m 21.

(my grandma has high blood pressure and has a measurer so she can adjust her meds. The values are mostly consistent with the ones from the doctor so it’s probably accurate. I borrow it on such occasions to know what’s going on)

I usually try to cure it with coffee and it works more or less, but I can’t really stand a second one that day even if I need it, it gives me a headache. I have no idea what triggers it. Sometimes it’s upon waking up, but more often without any cause I know of. There are weeks when I experience it almost every day and sometimes even multiple times per day, and there are weeks or longer when I don’t, and anything in between. I can go on curing it with coffee, but it’s probably not really normal and it’s annoying in any case. I doubt a doctor would believe me if he can’t measure anything abnormal when I’m feeling OK, though.

What can be a reason for this? What would stop it?

Lately, I’ve been experiencing a headache that I’ve never had before. The top
Of my head gets very cold to the point that I have to wear a hat most times to keep it warm.

Also, my feet tingle and the bottom portion of my legs tingle too and become numb. I have been to the doctors and been tested for diabetes which I do not have. I’ve also had an MRI and they don’t find anything (Thank God for that) but the fact remains they don’t seem to see anything.

I went to a kidney doctor because my creatinine level was up to 1.7. Is has come down to 1.3 and I’m on blood pressure medication to help keep my pressure down. But the doctor said something that was interesting to me. He said that my kidney was operating 75% and it could be that it (kidney) was not getting the circulation it needed. I asked him could that be the cause of my headaches/ numbness and tingling in legs and feet? He said no but I disagree; I think they are somehow related.

I have since started drinking cayenne pepper and water to help with my circulation but can anyone give me other remedies that would be conducive to my problem because the doctors don’t seem to know (or care) what’s going on.

I have a one year old little boy born September 18 08. I developed pre-eclmapsia around 29 weeks (ish) he had to be delivered early (35 wks) by emergency c-section because my blood pressure was so high. He was born completely developed just didnt know how to suck so stayed in NICU for a couple of weeks to learn the bottle. I have a family history of high blood pressure and pre-eclampsia. Im certain the same will happen with this pregnancy. I know the only cure to this is delivering the baby. My question is, is there any medication that I could take once it comes on to keep my blood pressure down so this baby can stay in longer. Or is there any cases where they do not have to deliver early? I’m worried sick about it.
Yes it is definitely a horrible way to have to go thru pregnancy. I was so sick "morning sickness" all day every day all 8 months and lost 50 lbs after is was all said and done. I just found out I am pregnant like and hour ago so I will definitely be making a DR. appt.
I wanted to keep him in longer but it was unbearable the headache was the worst pain..he was unresponsive too so they had no choice.

I have a friend with hight blood pressure, but she doesn’t suffer from this. She just had a baby and maybe that’s what’s going on. How can she lower it and take her headache away? Home remedies maybe?

Normally I can do decent size math problems and formulas and such in my head but once I am doing a test, its like pressure is building. Like a blood clot in my brain blocking important information. Its right in the center where both halves connect. I keep thinking, the pressure builds, then I get a headache. I just don’t understand. I am smart (my friends say) except when I do tests. Whats wrong with me?

Migraines/Vision Issues after birth?
As a teenager and during college I had monthly migraines. Luckily they stopped occurring about two years prior to the birth of my son. Three days after giving birth I starting getting them again. The only difference was I only got the visual "aura" and not the debilitating headache. It would get to the point that my vision was so blurred I couldn’t see to function. Which is pretty scary when at home alone with a newborn. Anyway after checking my blood pressure and other factors my doctor determined that these "transient migraines" were do to the lack of estrogen from breast feeding. For this reason and because my son was tongue-tied and inefficient, we discontinued nursing and switched to formula.

I’m curious how many others have experienced something similar to this? Also, did anyone notice that their vision was different after having a baby? It seemed like my vision did not return to normal until my little guy was about 6 months old.

**I just realized I initially sent this question to parenting instead of newborn/infant**

I donate blood on a regular basis, at least once a quarte, and have never had aproblem donating. Today I went to donate and could not because my blood pressure was too high. The lady said it could have a little to do with my two cups of coffee and bottle of coke I drank this morning, because of the caffeine. But then I also remembered that I took Sudafed PE last night for a bad headache. It is maximum strength Sinus & Allergy formula. I took one does at 6 pm, then another at 11 pm and tried to donate at noon today. Could this effect my blood pressure? I usually stay away from ANY medications for at least three days before a donation, but I just completely forgot, probably because my headache was so bad I was not thinking.

My blood pressure was 174/82 and I have a headache and sleepy

ok can some one pleas try and help me i got no idea what wrong with me

i might add that im 17 very fit

and have no previous history of anything like this

thanks in advance
its been over 2 weeks and i tried drinking a lot of water it didnt help

I was caught in the rain yesterday then when I get back at my office my head started aching…..
But the headache I had felt so different from the usual headache I have. My backneck was all stiff and I felt like it was engorged with blood ready to explode anytime. I can’t even turn my head up/down or even side ways.
What could it be? It could be a sign of me starting to have high-blood? Thanks!
p.s.our family has a high blood problem history
P.S. I went to lay to bed and all seemed fine, but when I stood up, the head ache and backache came again last night.

Now, this morning, when I woke up, I thought I was okay, it came back again for a bit. But now I am okay.

I looked up in a book what kind of headache I’ve been experiencing based on the symptoms, and it looks like a hypertension headache. It didn’t even sound like any other headache listed. I understand this means high blood pressure, but I was wondering… saving myself a trip to a doctor, how can I diagnose this myself?

I’m thinking I’d have to buy a blood pressure monitor, and take regular readings… totally doable. That would be better than making an appointment, waiting 2 weeks, and paying a co-pay to have him tell me to do that.

What I’m looking for from you is a website giving information on self-diagnosis of hypertension, and treatment options. At what point should I see a doctor? Etc.

Thank you
