Pretty save.: Celebrex is save, with few side effects. Nevertheless, with your BP I would prefer you use Tylenol (acetaminophen) since Celebrex and any other COX inhibitor ( Motrin, Alleve ) may increase you BP more. It is possible that your headache is caused by hight blood pressure.

Sometimes it does: The principal side effects of Celebrex (celecoxib) are stomach irritation, increase in BP. See how you feel by tomorrow. Most people don't have serious side effects with it.
