Description
Summary:Association between mild to moderate hypertension and headache is probably coincidental. Severe sustained hypertension, malignant hypertension and paroxysmal hypertension (sudden rise) are associated with severe headache. Transient hypertension can occur during an attack of migraine or cluster headache. Hypertension may increase the frequency and severity of migraine in migraineurs and may transform an episodic migraine into chronic daily headache. Concomitant treatment of hypertension is important in these patients.
