Yes: High blood pressure, if uncontrolled, can causes headaches. These could be associated with nausea, vomiting, and blurred vision. Make sure you measure your blood pressure daily especially when you have the headache. Paroxysmal hypertension can be tricky because the blood pressure goes up at times and is normal in others. I suggest you see your neurologist urgently for an exam and possibly mri.
