I would assume your family doctor is cautious because your blood pressure is high so he (she) wants to control BP first and if headache persists, a triptan will be added because triptan can increase blood pressure which is one of its side effect.

We cannot interpret the decisions made by your personal physicians but one excellent approach is to schedule a meeting with both doctors and make joint decisions
