A member asked:

How can i tell the difference between a blood pressure thing and something more serious for the cause of my head pains?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If HA goes away: If head ache goes away with BP improvement, it is highly likely it is from bp. If it does not improve with BP undercontrol, it is probably secondary to different cause.

Dr Eitner and another doctor agreed
