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

Why is this happening to me? I work at a restaurant to support myself while im going to college. Rececently like 3 or 4 days ago I noticed that everytime i lift a heavy object or bend down (which i have to do a lot!!) my head feels like it’s going to explode and I can feel the pulse on my forehead and my whole head starts to hurt….if i bend down too many times in a day the headache stays for thw hole day or even more… also something more strange is that I’ve noticed that I see less sharp the things that are far away…i use glasses and all but I ‘ve noticed a slight change in my eyesight anfd I went to the doc a few weeks ago…supposedly everything normal! but why is this happening??? i also get dizzy….help??

oh anfd both of my parents have high blood prrssure..my grandparents too….is it hereditary?
