Avatar m tn I know that a lot of people here have high blood pressure and use triptans, and I have a very high pulse and take blood pressure medication and still use triptans... so I am pretty sure your high blood pressure thing is fine... but check with your doctor if you are not sure. So... the last question. Does it work? Well... it depends when you take it and what type of a triptan you have, really. If you take your triptan, the imitrex, at the first sign of a migraine, YES it will work!!
Avatar f tn Sinusitis, refractive errors of the eye, migraine, cluster headaches, brain tumors and aneurysms, high blood pressure, tension headaches, temporal arteritis, pinched cervical spinal nerve, TMJ, poor or disturbed sleep etc are several causes of headaches. Dental pain and ear ache due to infection or impacted wax can cause similar symptoms. Needless to say, a persisting headache should be investigated. Please consult a headache and migraine specialist to rule out these causes one by one.
518798 tn?1295212279 I have been having headaches daily for the past 10 days. I thought it was due to the construction (painting and flooring) going on at work. Last night was horrible. I threw up all day and generally felt like a big pile of dog doodoo. When I woke up this morning, I still had a headache and took my blood pressure. Took it 3 times and each time the bottom number was over 100. I think the highest was 174/110.
Avatar f tn so there is no reason to become an addict or to crave the medication, but ones body will still become highly dependent on the medication to a point that if you take the body off the medication abruptly you can cause seizures and even death... Imitrex is NOT like that!! Imitrex does not cause any sort of high or euphoria so you cannot become addicted to it, you will not "crave" it when you are not in pain...
518798 tn?1295212279 Imitrex is very hard on the system, gives you high blood pressure among other things. Yes it may stop being as effective if you take it regularly. My wife has had chronic migraines that do not go away for the past 7 years, although they vary in pain severity. She has used just about everything you can think of prescribed by several different doctors including injections into the lower back of the skull. Try having your Doctor rotate your meds every so often.
435241 tn?1208575531 Aneurysms occur due to weakness in the walls of cerebral artery or vein. They are usually congenital effects, but can also be due to high blood pressure or atherosclerosis or head trauma. A small unchanging aneurysm may not produce any symptoms but a large aneurysm will produce symptoms like headache, loss of consciousness, vision impairment and vomiting. These symptoms occur especially when the aneurysm is about to rupture.
Avatar f tn I have high blood pressure and when it spikes up I get terrific headaches so it was just a guess. You can check it at a local pharmacy/food store. What day are you on?
1079216 tn?1258200805 Hi cadmoff!
397977 tn?1201264847 After being on birth control-only a low dose my blood pressure went bannanas-200/100 and my migraines were almost constant. I went off the birth control and had a thermal ablation to thin the lining of my Uterus. This I'm sure saved my life, I was literally hemorrhaging. This helped for a while with my migraines as I was just healthier. But they have gotten out of hand again as it seemed to with my mother also during her 40's.
Avatar f tn does either imitrex or maxalt contain caffeine? I was taking Maxalt for migraines and it worked great! Now my insurance has decided I need to try Imitrex before they will approve coverage for the Maxalt. The Imitrex took about 2 hours to have any effect, but eventually my headache subsided. Since then I have had recurring headaches for 4 days.
1590979 tn?1302006835 does anyone have any tips for the pressure and tightness feeling in the head and neck? or for the passing out feeling?it's driving me nuts!
Avatar f tn Ziac is for high blood pressure and I doubt you have this at 20! Do you know why it was given to you? Imitrex is for migraines, do you get migraine headaches? Lexapro is used to treat anxiety and obcessive compulsive disorders (OCD). This is where one keeps doing something repeatedly, like handwashing, cleaning, checking locks, etc. People with OCD often have ADHD as well. Lexapro can calm you and help you concentrate, but it doesn't sound like it's working for you.
Avatar f tn But it seems to get better each day. Main thing I am fighting now are these daily head aches. They get SO BAD. My blood pressure is not high. I take 800mg ibprofen and it doesn't even touch it. Any help or advice would be wonderful. Yay for 10 days clean. Proud of myself.
Avatar n tn I was 45 also when my family practice dr. diaagnoised me with a pseudotumor cerebri. I was having migranes daily and head was so foggy I got to where I could not function. Request a MRI/MRA to rule out a tumor or vessel disorder. If this comes back normal then ask if it could be a pseudotumor cerebri . This use to be known as intercranial hypertension. Usually a woman of chidbearing age is suspected of this not someone of 45. I still have migranes but nothing like I did.
Avatar f tn s experience with the imitrex has been - good or bad - and if they have any other tips of things I can try (non-medicinal) to reduce the pain, etc., of the migraines. Fortunately, (knock on wood), I haven't had a migraine since I saw my doc on thursday, so I haven't tried the imitrex yet. I'm always leary/hesitant about ANY new medication, so would definitely appreciate any advice about this med that anyone might have. Thanks so much!
915119 tn?1341948989 if your blood pressure is too high it restricts the blood vessels and can stop baby from getting enough blood and oxygen. if it gets extremely high it can cause seizures. are you seeing spots or having blurred vision? I agree with bjbbeauchamp, try nor to stress! and if it goes up any more then go to L&D! its better to be safe than sorry! I have had HORRIBLE swelling in my legs for months now, but no protein in my urine until the other week.
Avatar n tn I am 35 years old and never thought I had HIgh Blood pressure until recently. As I am into my higher studies, when visiting the doctor for a fall, they told me I had high pressure readings of 160/110. My pulse was also high, ( I was diagnosed with tachycardia some years ago which was again put down to stress.) They put it down to anxiety and stress, and gave me atenenol 25 mg. Since then I have developed a fear, and my pulse raises whenever the doctor checks my pressure, and my pressure is high.
Avatar f tn 2wks tomorrow since surgery and still have tingle in feet and hands,and blood pressure still not going down,was 146/97 today. I just dont understand to be like 97/72 up till i fall asleep for surgery and to wake up this high,and stay that way. Dr says he dont know what to do next,what it could be. I know this cant be good to go on now with this high of blood pressure and nothing done about it. I dont know where to turn to next.
Avatar m tn 4 years ago after the birth of my child I was on 4 different medications. Today none, and my blood pressure is 100/60. All the ideas mammo gave you on exercise, low salt diet and more is what helped me get off medications and get my BP back on track. It isnt good to walk around with uncontrolled blood pressure so for sure get in as soon as you can and get things sorted around with your doctor.
Avatar f tn I have had high blood pressure my whole pregnancy, often as high as 170s/100. I was put on meds and told modified bed rest last week at 35w5d. Ihave not had to do urone collection as when it spikes they make me come back the following 2days for checks and urine samples. If it os still high this week at my 36w5d appt while on the meds i think they will probably put me on full bed rest until i deliver.
Avatar m tn I am a 58 year old female and my question is about high blood pressure and sex. While I understand blood pressure rises during sex I wonder if it is normal to get a sudden onset pounding migraine. This is new the last two times at climax. I was curious and checked my blood pressure the last time and it was 160/88. The headache is sudden and severe and remains for hours after. Is this something I should be concerned about?
Avatar f tn I went in at 35 weeks and 4 days and my blood pressure was high and they gave me meds and did a 24 hour urine test but during the night, even on the meds my blood pressure got to 180/110 and they c sectioned my baby that day.
Avatar m tn my girl friend just went to the doctor, they took her blood pressure and it was 210 over 110. she is 53 and is all ready on procardia. they toke it four times and it stayed that high. they just gave her a scrpit for linsinaprel and sent her home, was that the right thing to do.
