High blood pressure: While high blood pressure can cause symptoms like headache, usually it causes no symptoms at all. Pain, including headache, can also cause the blood pressure to go up. Figuring out which is the cause and which is the result is important. Treating high blood pressure reduces the risk of stroke and other future problems. And for some young patients with HBP, a curable cause can be found.
