Blood pressure head aches can mean that your brain may have swelling that is made worse by the blood pressure rise. If you brain is sensitive to blood pressure rises, I would check with a doctor.

I believe everybody should have their own blood pressure measurement equipment. Automatic blood pressure meters can be purchased at the drug store for about $25 and up.

Get used to taking your blood pressure through out the day so you get an understanding of what is your normal. When you have a head ache, you can check you BP. If it is higher than normal, you can chart the pressure at which the head ache appears.

If your headaches are not connected to BP, then there is no need to be concerned about your BP. Unless it is usually high.

Brain injuries can injure the mechanism that helps regulate blood pressure.

So, learn about blood pressure and take control of this part of your health.
