What is the difference between a high blood pressure headache and a cold headache?

If the headache is due to insufficient blood supply to the brain caused by elevated blood pressure or changes caused by cerebral vasospasm, or it is hypertension combined with cerebral edema, intracranial pressure increases, and hypertension combined with cerebrovascular headache accidentally. Need to be timely**, it will be dangerous. If you have a cold and headache, it is usually caused by a fever, but it can be recovered by using fever-reducing medicine in time.

If the patient has high blood pressure, it may cause headache symptoms, and the headache of hypertension is mainly swelling pain, presenting persistent pain, and the location is not fixed. When the temperature drops, it is easy to have high blood pressure headaches, mainly because the blood vessels in the cold season constrict, and the blood pressure will be higher than usual, and if it cannot be lowered, it will lead to headaches. There will be many kinds of headache symptoms High blood pressure can also cause headaches, if the headache is more serious, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for a comprehensive examination, because there are many kinds of headaches, neurological, allergic, clogged, migraine, so it is better to go to a regular hospital for a diagnosis, so that it can be faster and better, and will not take detours.

Headache, mostly in the back of the head, accompanied by nausea, vomiting and other symptoms; Female patients often have dizziness, insomnia, numbness of limbs, common fingers, numbness of toes or ants, etc., and fingers are not flexible. Late symptoms: left ventricular modernization, compensatory hypertrophy, gradual decline in renal function, polyuria, nocturia, renal failure, azoemia or uremia.

Brain tissue ischemia, resulting in different degrees of headache, dizziness, vertigo, limb numbness or temporary aphasia, paralysis and other symptoms. Fundus, mild hardening.

There is a difference between a headache with high blood pressure and a headache from a cold, for example, if you have a headache with high blood pressure, you will feel it when you measure your blood pressure, and you can see a significant increase in blood pressure, and when your blood pressure drops, the headache will be reduced, but if you have a cold headache, you will have a runny nose and cough, and your whole head will be groggy.

Headaches caused by high blood pressure are often accompanied by dizziness, some are accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and tightness in the back of the neck.

When there is a headache for high blood pressure, there are often different degrees of dizziness, and the blood pressure will increase when measured by measurement, while the headache of a cold is generally a nasal congestion, runny nose or a slight fever.

The onset of the disease is acute, with an incubation period of 1 to 3 days, mainly manifested as nasal symptoms, such as sneezing, nasal congestion, watery nasal discharge, cough, dry throat, itchy throat, sore throat or burning sensation, and even postnasal dripping sensation.

1.Clinical presentation.

Symptoms such as dry throat, itchy throat, sneezing, nasal congestion, cough, watery eyes, and headache appear.

Antipyretic analgesics.

Including compound aspirin, indomethacin, acetaminophen, ibuprofen and other drugs, suitable for patients with fever, muscle aches, headaches. Such drugs should not be used in people with severe liver and kidney insufficiency, bleeding tendency, upper gastrointestinal bleeding, etc.

1.Get more bed rest and get enough sleep.

Hypertension can cause obvious headaches, and the headache manifested by hypertension is more obvious, and sometimes you can feel a throbbing pain in the head. When high blood pressure causes headaches, it is often accompanied by other discomforts, such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting, neck discomfort, etc.

There are many diseases that cause headaches, but high blood pressure is one of the more common factors, so whenever a headache occurs, blood pressure should be measured first. If the headache is severe and accompanied by obvious neurological symptoms, it is necessary to see a doctor in time, improve relevant examinations and evaluations, and be alert to hypertensive encephalopathy.

High blood pressure can definitely cause headaches, and a sharp increase in blood pressure in a short period of time can cause headaches to be very noticeable.

Because the sharply elevated blood pressure breaks through the regulatory range of the cerebral blood vessels, the increase in cerebral blood flow causes headaches.

However, some patients have a headache because their blood pressure is actually normal, and the blood pressure is relatively low, such as 120mmHg, 110mmHg or even 90mmHg, when the blood pressure rises above 140mmHg, there will also be obvious headaches, which is also related to the ability to regulate the cerebral blood vessels, and when the cerebral vascular volume increases, the blood flow increases and causes pain.

However, it is important to note that not all headaches are caused by high blood pressure, and other causes should be ruled out.

Some people often get dizzy, go to the hospital to check their blood pressure, and find that it is high blood pressure. So is dizziness a symptom of high blood pressure? The symptoms of high blood pressure vary from person to person.

In the early stages, there may be no symptoms or no symptoms, and only an increase in blood pressure occurs after exertion, nervousness, and mood swings, and returns to normal after rest. As the course of the disease prolongs, the blood pressure continues to rise significantly, and various symptoms gradually appear.

Dizziness is a common symptom or even the only symptom of hypertension (especially at the beginning of hypertension), and the dizziness of hypertension is persistent, not paroxysmal, and generally not accompanied by visual rotation, which is significantly different from vertigo caused by inner ear vertigo, vestibular neuritis, etc. The cause of hypertensive dizziness is still insufficient blood supply to the vestibular nerve, due to hypertensive arterial spasm, cerebral ischemia, and thus vestibular nerve ischemia at the same time, abnormal position perception and dizziness, so hypertensive dizziness usually means cerebral ischemia. However, in the practice of hypertension, sometimes lowering blood pressure can not completely eliminate the symptoms of dizziness, because hypertension also leads to arterial intimal damage, vascular wall remodeling, arterial wall sclerosis, arterial lumen narrowing, and blood supply is reduced after blood pressure is lowered, so sometimes blood pressure is lowered, and dizziness is aggravated, which is also the reason why long-term hypertension patients can not lower blood pressure too quickly and too violently.

Other symptoms of hypertensive patients: irritability, palpitations, insomnia: hypertensive patients are more irritable, sensitive, and easily excited. Heart palpitations and insomnia are more common, and insomnia is mostly difficulty falling asleep or waking up early, unrealistic sleep, nightmares, and easy awakening.

Difficulty concentrating, memory loss: It is usually not obvious in the early stage, but gradually worsens as the disease progresses.

Limb numbness: numbness of fingers and toes or a feeling of mosquito walking or muscle tension and soreness in the back of the neck. Some patients often experience inflexibility in their fingers.

Bleeding: Less common. Because hypertension can cause arteriosclerosis, the elasticity of blood vessels decreases, and the fragility increases, so it is easy to rupture and bleed.

To sum up, when the patient has inexplicable dizziness, headache or other symptoms mentioned above, it is necessary to consider whether he has hypertension and should measure his blood pressure in time. If the blood pressure is confirmed, it is advisable to take medication as soon as possible to avoid further progression of the disease.

Hello, your question has been answered, dizziness may be related to blood pressure.
