Uncommon: Your symptoms are not a common reaction to vitamin d3. It is possible that the fillers in the supplement, or that there is an interaction with your BP medication. Most important is to get your blood pressure down, it is still higher than recommended. You might try once weekly vit d instead of daily. Check with your primary care provider.

Rx needed: Take vit d and tylenol (acetaminophen) for headache. Need to have more tests to find the cause of high bp.. Too dangerous level, not to treat.. Please seek medical help right away.
