If I have mildly high blood pressure, will aspirin make it worse, and cause severe, short term headache?

HBP, according to the books I have read, may be one symptom of high insulin production (hyperinsulinemia) one of the pre-diabetic conditions.  Hyperinsulinemia can be responsible for another condition hypoglycemia - low blood sugar.  Aspirin interferes with the production of hormones that increase pain, by interfering with the production of some sub-hormones that hypoglycemia can help overproduce.  The exercise possibly used up your available sugar in the bloodstream, and the headache may have been your brain trying to tell you it was low on sugar.\n\nwww.hufa.org has some basic info on low blood sugar, how to detect it and what to do about it.

I have suffered from migraine headaches all my life and threw pain killers away years ago!  I use Imitrex (or Relpax, Maxhalt, Frova are some of the others). They are vasodilators, not pain killers. They work in about 20 minutes and usually don't cause dizziness or such side effects.  They changed my life!  Headache gone!  Ask your doctor. If you don't have prescription coverage, he can give you samples, cause the drug reps give out tons of samples.  Good luck.

you must be from the UK.  paracetamol = acetaminophen in US.  there are so many questions to figuring out why you might still have a headache after taking medication.  if it is really bothering you, consider the following questions and talk to your healthcare provider: what were you doing when it started? where does it hurt? how long have you had the headache?  does the pain fluctuate or ever go away?  what does the pain feel like? does anything make it better or worse?  have you tried any other measures for relief (heat, cold, etc)?  any other symptoms (nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light/sound/smell, fever, stiff neck)?  \n*is this the worst headache of your life?  \n*is there anything different about this headache?  \n** if the answer to either of these is yes, you may want to go to emergency and see what's going on.  otherwise, follow up sometime this week.  hope that helps and you feel better.

You will likely develop a clot, which will constrict blood flow to vital organs and probably cause a stroke.  Check out www.webmd.com and read all about it.

Get some Suedafed, as long as you dont have blood pressure problems.  That'll help.  Just ask your Pharmacist.

No, actually, it's good for you. Also, when my neighbor went into the ER with chest pains, they gave her 4 childrens chewable aspirins right away. Aspirin thins your blood, and helps to keep you from having a heart attack. Just use caution, because some people are allergic to aspirin. If you aren't allergic, then it's a good thing. \n\nAlso, when I broke my ankle and was in a cast, my doctor insisted that I take an aspirin every day to keep from getting blood clots where the cast was. Aspirin is good for many things...not just for headaches anymore!

There are too many factors to be considered before answering such a question, ESID I'm afraid! (Every Situation Is Different).\n\nBut it is known that caffene does increase blood pressure to some degree. Best to cut down or avoid it all together, just have a quality cup of the good stuff once a day and use that time to relax and just chill out to counteract the caffene BP spike.\n\nHere's some more do's and dont's for folks with HBP:\n\nhttp://www.coolestebooks.com/products2.html\nhttp://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/hbp/treat/treat.htm\nhttp://www.americanheart.org/downloadable/heart/110288218598521%20HowCanIReduce%20HBP.pdf\nhttp://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/public/heart/hbp/dash/

YES! Highly dangerous!! Phentermine significantly raises the blood pressure and can cause a reoccurence of stroke!\n\nPlease, take your time and lose the weight the old fashioned way: diet and exercise!

The pills are light sensitive and need to stay in the shaded bottle that the patient will get them in.\n\nThe pills have a relatively short life (check the PDR) and the patient should refill the prescription in the recommended time, or they will loose their potency.  If the patient uses a pill, and he does not have a slight burning sensation under his tongue, the pills are probably no longer effective.\n\nThe pills or paste can cause headaches, and seems to be a frequent side effect.\n\nUse only the amount prescribed.  Too much paste or too many pills can cause the blood pressure to fall (vasodilation).  The patient should be aware of dizziness or light headedness from this side effect, and if it persists he needs to call his MD.\n\nBe sure and tell the patient (if he is using the paste) to remove the old paste before applying a new dose.\n\nIf he is using the pills on an as needed basis for chest pain, the usual instructions are to use three pills, five minutes apart for pain relief.  If he has no relief, he needs to call his MD or go to the ER.  How to use the pills will be determined by his MD.\n\nThere are probably more instructions needed, but that's all I can think of now.

there is a difference between having like-stroke symptoms and having actually a stroke. I did not understand quite clearly your question but I ll try to help a bit. To actually have a stroke there are some hemodynamic conditions that cause a blood vessel in your brain to obstruct. For example: having high blood pressure, high blood collesterol, a previously obstructed vessel (arteriosclerosis, atherosclerosis, malformation, etc), diabetes, etc.\nNow, really stressful circumstances can be a trigger for high blood pressure, also vasoconstriction and if you have on the background one of the above mentioned, then it could be possible to have a TIA, or even a stroke. I will advise you, if you know about someone undergoing the following symptoms to have prompt medical attention: headache, dizziness, nausea, numbness in any part of the body, sudden lost of muscular strenght, visual or auditive irregularities.\nIt could be just a somatization disorder due to intense and continual stress, or it could be worst. Good luck.

That would be called a heatstroke, correct?\n\nCalebsmom is correct, sort of. High blood pressure in the brain is not necessarily a case of hypertension and that is one of the problematic factors that make some strokes unpredictable.\n\nProblems that cause migraines also cause blood pressure problems in the brain without an exiting diagnosis of hypertension, because hypertension is not necessarily occurring to be measured in normal telemetry - migraines are vascular headaches. In fact, a person who often experiences migraines may have measured blood pressure that always seems normal or even possibly at a low level because of the vascular occurrences in the brain. Abnormal serotonin levels, either too high or too low, also can cause migraines, overheating, stroke and even comas (among other things).\n\nIt is never good for a brain to be overheated by any means, external or internal heat causes numerous problems including stroke, although it is true that not all strokes are caused by heat.

benedryl does have antihistamines in it to calm oneself in related to skin allergies...try ibuprofen for body aches & pains & to keep swelling down.  I don't think it will cause hi-blood pressure unless you mix alot of meds....still talk to your doc or a nurse on a health hotline avail.

Take off your shoes.  Sit on a confortable place. Close your eyes and press hard with the tips of your thumbs.  If you press your eyes, you releve blood pressure on the optic nerves, often related with headaches.
