Headaches Don't Always Mean High Blood Pressure | Leeds News

High blood pressure often sneaks up silently—32% of adults in England are affected, with no symptoms most of the time. Headaches? They’re common and usually tied to stress, dehydration, or alcohol—not hypertension. But if you’re getting regular headaches, don’t self-medicate: rest, hydrate, eat, and cut back on booze. The only sure way to know if you have high blood pressure? Get it checked. Many pharmacies offer checks, and over-40s may get them free. And if a headache hits suddenly—with confusion, vision loss, weakness, or speech issues—call 999. Your life depends on it.
