The American Heart Association maintain that people do not usually experience headaches when their blood pressure is high unless it goes above a reading of 180/120.
Researchers have also looked at whether having regular headaches might affect a person’s overall heart health.
Causes of high blood pressure could include age, race, sex, lifestyle, family history and stress.
If you suspect you or someone you know may be at risk of high blood pressure, it’s important to speak with your GP immediately.
