Thanks for contacting Chat Doctor. Dear Anna, A pounding headache in a known case of high blood pressure usually means just one thing, that is blood pressure not adequately controlled by current medications and lifestyle. Please take her to her doctor and get her B.P. checked along with corrections in her medications. These headaches can be an early warning of impending stroke, so, please do not delay. Regards.
