I used an at home blood pressure cuff to take my blood pressure. I have had a headache for three days that is tough to go away. I take one alleve and one Sudafed and it goes away for awhile, but comes back just as strong. My blood pressure reading was 133/96. I am overweight and have been for at least 15 years; however, my blood pressure has never been high except when I was in severe pain. Should I be concerned? This level is elevated for me. I am usually around 120/75 or something in that range.
HelloWelcome to Ask a Doctor service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. If you go on reading blood pressure on your own it will show different reading every time so if you want to clear the doubt then you have to see the cardiologist, else what ever the symptoms you have or the medicine you are taking is nothing to take anything with blood pressure, it is immaterial to read the blood pressure without any indication, and if you want to rule out the possibility of it then best way is to consult the physician and let the physician read the blood pressure and discuss this. Hope I have answered your query, let me know for further assistance,
