It is "normal": A migraine is not just simply a headache. Rather, it should be viewed as an attack that is accompanied by various neurological and non-neurological features as well as headache, visual disturbance, vomiting, and high blood pressure. Rec. See a headache or orofacial pain specialist.

It is not uncommon: It is not uncommon for Blood pressure to "shoot up" with any severe pain, especially with a migraine headache. The upper number in the blood pressure is always higher than the lower number, so perhaps your blood pressure was 160/110. This is a serious blood pressure elevation, and it is important to receive prompt treatment. For more info see: http://understandingmigraine.blogspot.com
