I have a history of high blood pressure and take medication for it.  The last few days, my blood pressure has been elevated and I have been getting frequent headaches.  Tonight my blood pressure readings were 149/115 and 129/96.  What kind of medical treatment should I be seeking?
Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! You should know that the headache seem to be caused by high blood pressure.

Anyway, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician and some tests to exclude other possible causes of secondary hypertension: - a chest X-ray study-complete blood count for anemia-thyroid hormone levels for thyroid dysfunction- blood electrolytes for electrolyte imbalance-kidney and liver function tests-fasting glucose. If all these tests result normal, you should discuss with your doctor on the possibility of making some changes to your actual antihypertensive therapy (increase the doses or add new Chat Doctor.  Hope to have been helpful! Wishing good health,
