<human>: Hello, I have had a unilateral headache for the past 4 months now, my MRI was normal, showing only a straight neck, and I was advised to do physiotherapy. I have been doing for the past 3 months, but it isn t really doing any good. I take Celebrex 100 and Myogesic for the headache twice a day. The thing is that now I also have high BP readings with diastolic ranging between 90-103. My question is, can severe muscle spasm cause high BP? Thanks.
<bot>: Hi, Any condition which is related with spasm or pain, can cause blood pressure rise. Also, in some patients blood pressure can increase after physiotherapy. I would advise you to monitor it for some time, if it doesn't normalize after your spasm and pain are relieved and your physiotherapy is finished, I would advise you to see your doctor to discuss the treatment. Wishing you good health In case of further questions don't hesitate to ask
