Hello, I have had a unilateral headache for the past 4 months now, my MRI was normal, showing only a straight neck, and I was advised to do physiotherapy. I have been doing for the past 3 months, but it isn t really doing any good. I take Celebrex 100 and Myogesic for the headache twice a day. The thing is that now I also have high BP readings with diastolic ranging between 90-103. My question is, can severe muscle spasm cause high BP? Thanks.
Hi, Any condition which is related with spasm or pain, can cause blood pressure rise. Also, in some patients blood pressure can increase after physiotherapy. I would advise you to monitor it for some time, if it doesn't normalize after your spasm and pain are relieved and your physiotherapy is finished, I would advise you to see your doctor to discuss the treatment. Wishing you good health In case of further questions don't hesitate to ask
