Can Hypertension cause headaches?

Weasel

I've been diagnosed with mild hypertension (no meds required). Also, been experiencing persistent headaches recently (and, I'm NOT prone to migraines). My GP reckons it's the BP. But I've read somewhere that this link is just a myth. Should I take her advice, or do I need to get a second opinion.

There is very dangerous perception in Indian subcontinnet regarding food and diseases and lifestyles.

It is mainly through Ayurveda,Homiopathy and Yunani system which deals with Health rather illnes.

Dear QL memebers once blood pressure is diagnosed

never hesiatate to use medicine,if you feel it is controlled by other means,you still can quit drugs.

BP Medication is done to prevent target organ damage

like diabetes.Do not worry much about dependency

of medicine it does have any properties of addiction.
