You have got to get that b/p down first! loose weight, diet, lots of exercise, drink plenty of water every day!!! And last of all go and see the doctor for a check-up! Have a good day!

Depends on what's causing the headache.  Try massage, meditation (including running, tai chi, meditation, yoga, or anything that requires your attention but not your intense concentration) sleep or food (avoide caffeine because it constricts the blood vessels and make it so you can't sleep).  If that doesn't work, the cause may be biochemical... see your doc.

Yes, you can go blind (not to be flip).  Intercranial Hypertension (pseudotumor cerebri) is an elevation of pressure in the cranium and if high enough causes the optic nerves to be compressed and if compressed long enough can cause the nerve to atrophy and die ie go blind.  Listen if you are still getting bad headache you need treatment.  Either repeat spinal taps, meds like Diamox, or even a VP shunt will help.  If no insurance, go to your community health medical clinic and see if they can help you.  If all fails try the ER and explain your situation (try a line like if the ER doc tries to send you home but doc I have no money and no followup whos going to support me if i go blind....Pause...are you going to support me if i go blind)

Go see the specialist, you need to find out what's causing the headaches.  It could be sinus-related, migraines, or high blood pressure.  I had migraines for many years and I had exhausted all OTC meds and after seeing many doctors and being on meds did I get it under control.

A friend of mine told me to put ice in a wash cloth and fold it up and hold it against your neck and lay down for 30 minutes...it's supposed to open up your blood vessels..maybe you should get a MRI or a CT scan to have your headaches checked out. or trying having someone give you a back/neck message to relieve the tension?

I find lavender oil to be a really good, natural cure for headaches. Just put a couple of drops on the ends of your fingers and rub gently into your temples, giving yourself a little massage. \n\nIf that doesn't work, try something like Syndol (don't know about the spelling but it's a medication for tension headaches). Sometimes your headache stems from a tense neck and this will take the pressure off your neck muscles, thus relieving your headache.\n\nHope it works for you.

Yes there are natural remedies for high blood pressure.\nFirst cut the salt down or out in your diet. Take a walk everyday. You don't have to power walk but walk at least 15-20 minutes. As you get more used to it you can increase your walking pace. Take the stairs whenever possible. Cut out the junk food. If you smoke cut way back or stop if you can smoking does raise your blood pressure. Eat bananas. Drink plenty of water. Get a cd or video of deep breathing excercizes this will also help you to reduce your stress level and as a by product reduce your blood pressure. Try the pomegranate juice or better yet eat a pomagranate and chew up the seeds, they're a good source of fiber. Try to stay away from processed foods like frozen dinners, white bread and donuts and fast food.Eat whole wheat bread - Check The Label - If Whole Wheat Flour isn't the first ingredient its NOT whole wheat bread. Eat vegetables with lots of color in them Tomatoes, red & yellow peppers, squash, kale, mustard greens, spinach, broccoli rabe. There's lots of real good stuff in them to keep you healthy. Also eat fresh fruit/ they too have lots of stuff in them to keep you healthy and the complex carbs break down slowly and help to keep your appetite from getting out of control. Keep in mind that this is the only body you get and you have to treat it kindly. It's a really complex piece of machinery if you will much like our earth's ecosystem. You mess with one thing and it always affects other things in the system. You don't have to go on a crash diet or take pills if you take some responsibility for your eating habits if you learn how to respect the vehicle that is your body you can reduce your blood pressure and cholestoral too.\n I have done it and so have lots of other people & you can too. Good Luck and happy eating.\nLL

You can try turning off the lights, if it is possible.  Often the major culprit of headaches is light.  Also try massaging your temples, starting lightly and gradually applying more pressure.  Drink a lot of water.  Don't drink anything with caffeine or sugar, as they can make a headache much worse.

Ask a phamacist.  There are pain-relieving products made for this purpose.   Orajel  or Anbesol might help you.   Or take an aspirin or tylenol (whatever you would take for a headache)  That will help also.

If you would like to cure headaches naturally, try to take a lime, cut it into half and rub it on your \nforehead. The throbbing will go away.  This worked for me.

Take your High Blood Pressure SERIOUSLY!  I do not/did not have High Blood Pressure and still had a heart attack at 36!\n\nHigh blood pressure is an issue because it effects MANY things in the body.. it puts stress on your blood vessels and your lungs, kidneys etc.. \n\nKeep it under control and follow the advice of your doctors about diet, exercise and lifestyle choices.

Yes, high blood pressure can cause many things from heart attack to stroke to erectile dysfunction, and many other things in between.\n\nWatch your salt intake, there are many foods out there that are very high salt. Exercise will help strengthen your heart and lower your blood pressure, it also helps alleviate stress. Stress affects your BP readings, so try and eliminate stressors in your life or reducing the amount. The are many excellent websites for additional information I've always suggested : www.lifeclinic.com for anyone who suffers from hypertension

I am 22 years old and I have level 2 hypertension (really high bp for my age), and I have found that there are many things that can help drop the pressure. Try eating less sodium (salt) in your foods. Excercise daily. Stay away from caffiene as much as possible or any other stimulant for that matter. RELAX, being angry also raises your blood pressure. Dont smoke. Do not take over the counter allergy medicine without consulting your doctor first. In most cases high blood pressure is un-curable but can be tamed. Usually it is hereditary so medicine is a must. If you do decide to go with the medicine, make sure that it is right for you. I was taking a certain med and it just made my heart race, so I guess you could say it made things worse. Hope that all this helped.

When you eat unsalted food, do some exercise not excessively, eat nutritious food and you can tell your doctor about this, so he or she will prescribe you some kind of Blood Pressure medication.

I think what you should do is fill your kitchen sink up with water. Now put your head in the sink three times,and only pull your head out twice. This will cure your headache
