Thats really educative, most symptoms mentioned in the article are very similar to those of migraine headaches. In case you haven't heard of migraine it is a very severe headache , that occurs once in a while and affects 3 out of 10 persons, I suffer from migraine from time to time and its very excruciating. The symptoms are exactly like hypertension symptoms , in fact when i started having migraine around the time i was 19 years old , a doctor suggested that i might have hypertension but he was baffled because i was too young then. Migraine is not common in Nigeria so i had to go to a specialist hospital before i was diagnosed properly. Think i will write an article on Migraine headaches too.
Will be looking forward to the article..
Migraine is v common in India... I also suffered a lot. Nw little better cos nw I am consulting good doctor. U should take propranolol as it increases blood flow towards the brain.
yeah thats what i use if i notice that its about to start
Too much eating and drinking without doing any physical activity will cause high BP most of the time.
True, you are right..
