Can low blood pressure cause headaches? If so, how to stop them?

My blood pressure is never high, but since losing weight, it now runs about 90/64. It also drops easily. Can that be the cause of headaches/lightheadedness?

Is there anything to remedy this? Other than gaining weight again, which I sure don’t want to do.

Thanks.

Both answers above are correct. If you eat something and the headache goes away in 30 minutes or so, it was probably low blood sugar. The low sodium/blood volume issue could be related. By way of prevention and management, if you eat a bit you’ll get salt without addidng it – like a piece of fruit, a tomato juice, or cracker. you may find you need to include small snacks and/or beverages in your total food for the day that will keep your blood sugar/pressure up without gaining back the weight. Rather than adding more food, just spread it out and eat more times more so you don’t get blood sugar ‘blips and drops’ during the day. High fiber, low sugar foods like berries, tomato, salad, cucumber, unsweetened yogurt with fruit, hummus with celery or carrots, etc. will keep your blood sugar even without ruining your weight loss.

For headache relief what you can do besides eating something, drinking something – caffeine makes pain relievers more effective in treating a headache. A cup of tea or coffee or a pain reliever with caffeine might speed up relief from the headache.

Chronic headaches with congestion and ear pressure?

I have spent the last several years with constant nasal and chest congestion with chronic headaches and earaches. All of the sudden about 6 days ago I got a severe headache with ear pressure and it hasn’t gone away since. The pain and pressure is constant. I’ve had a doc tell me that my headaches were probably caused by chronic candidiasis, but this sudden flare makes me think there’s something else wrong. I need some relief!

It is my undoctored view that you are suffering from chronic allergy problems. The chronic allergy problems are causing the nasal congestion, chest congestion, chronic headaches and earaches.
The sudden increase is due to a superimposed ear infection.

Pressure Headaches for over a week?

I have been having really bad headaches since the 29th. They feel like a hang over, sensitivity to light and sound. [I can hear everything very clearly, which is hard because its not normal for me] I can’t stay focussed on anything, I get really dizzy and I feel really light headed. The headaches themselves are pressure headaches. It feels like something is pushing on my brain from all angles. At first I had a stuffy nose and other cold symptoms but not its just my head. These headaches arn’t constant but they come 5-10 times a day.
Whats wrong?

you could have a sinus infection..when the sinuses are playing up..the headaches can be severe with pressure in the head..forhead nose cheeks etc..the dizziness may be caused by the ears..ears nose throat al connected an if you have an sinus infection it can affect the ear and when theres a problem with the ear your balance will be affected causing dizziness..you might have an ear infection…migraine or allergies…dont panic it will make it worse…you will find out when you visit the doctor..what it is?i have had the same thing..and it wasnt serious

how do you get red if sinus pressure headaches?

I have been getting this annoying headaches under my eyes, in between where my nose meets the top of my eyes, and above my left eyebrow. It especially hurts when i tilt my head to look down. Is there any way I can get rid of this quickly ? should i wait a couple of more days since its been a week? or should i go to the doctors and get antibiotics? Please I need advice.

Try using a decongestant +/- an antihistamine. If it doesn’t healp in a few days, call your doctor.

relieve headache/migraine pain

relieve some pressure and pain from headaches! Also on here I forgot to mention if you stretch your neck down and around slowly (stretch the neck and shoulders in every direction) It will help release some stress in the muscles that cause frequent headaches! Especially if you get re-occurring headaches…do the stretches a few times a day. IF you are massaging your own neck and shoulders try to do one side at a time for example…….massage the right side with your left hand to make sure your right neck, shoulder and arm are completely relaxed during the massage and vice versa. Maybe try leaning against a tennis ball on the wall to get pressure against the tension spots on your back that you cant reach! Luv you all! Hope you feel better!

how do you get rid of sinus pressure headaches?

I have had these kinds of headaches before too but I try not to take any OTCs for it if I can.

I would get a tissue paper and twist one of the corners. Once very thinly twisted, I would carefully insert it inside my nostril. Not to clean, but to tickle my nose which would make me sneeze. I have found that making myself sneeze relieves the sinus pressure that’s been causing my headache.

This sounds funny, but this has worked for me. Maybe worth a try for you. Who knows?

If this method and OTC meds don’t work, it may be time for you to visit your MD.

What can cause a light fever, neropathy and pressure headaches? I have had my blood test and it was fine?

My blood test prove I don’t have diabetes, no kidney or liver problems. My doctor believes it is a disc pressing on a nerve in my back or neck causing this and recommended physical theraphy. I’m looking for other possiblities

Were you checked for high ANA I believe it is called to make sure you don’t have an auto-immune disorder? You could have one of those. These are hard to diagnose in some people. These symptoms could be anything and some of the worse ones are:
Lupus
Lyme Disease
Cancer
and many others including something Dr’s can’t figure out. I am in the same boat as you with neuropathy and such and they haven’t figured it out so I sympathize with you. Don’t give up and I wish you luck. Don’t mean to scare you with the other diseases because it probably isn’t those but please make sure that they were ruled out. Take care.
