Q: I noticed that when I have cluster of headaches that last 2-3 days my blood pressure goes up. Why is that?
A: A natural response to pain is an increase in blood pressure. In addition many pain medicines contain substances that increase blood pressure. You should tell your doctor about the increase in blood pressure you have with headaches in case your treatment needs to be changed.
I am seeing a chiropractor using the Koren Specific Technique for neck pains and occasional headaches (result of a serious car accident). I am very impressed with the treatment. The headaches are gone! My whole spine and neck was out of alignment. It can not be cured completely but the treatment has helped enormously.
