What about those headaches???

From time to time I get these incredible pounding headaches, when I get flushed in the face and can hear my pulse in my ears. Sometimes my pressure measures up, and sometimes not during these headaches -- though my pressure is always pretty much borderline.
I know we are not supposed to get headaches from elevated blood pressure -- does anyone have any information on this type of headache?

" I have similar headaches. I can feel my temp rising, my face is flushed and I can feel/hear my heart pounding in my ears. Even though I suffer from High BP my headaches are a symptom of my MS. Perhaps your doc can prescribe you something for yours. "

" Hello, I'm new to the group! I also get those headaches from time to time and I can hear my heart beat in my ears. I usually just start talking myself down, and breathing deeply. It helps sometimes. I also get tension headaches and sinus headaches a lot now and I'm wondering if that is attributed to my High BP or perimenopause. "
