I should have explained myself better. My BP was fine until I was laid down. We took it & over a period of 3 nights the highest was 207/143. P-80 If he sat me up in about a minute it would quit...lay down it would shoot up again. After 2-3 tries, the episode was over. I did start Xanax a couple days b/f all this. Stop taking it & it hasn't happened. All within a week. I've been in A.D. before and it sure felt like an A.D. headache!!! Still don't know.... Dianna

Did you check your BP to make sure it was your blood pressure going up? I can usually tell the difference between AD and regular headaches, but lately my headaches have been so bad it has been difficult to discern which is which. I am going to try to go in and see the doctor again shortly about this problem. I believe mine are caused by some sort of terrible sinus issue I'm now dealing with. Oh yeah, if you're positive it is AD, Make sure you check your skin thoroughly to determine if you have some sort of an infection or sore causing the problem. You can also have someone turn you from side to side just in case something in your bowels is causing some difficulties. All of this in combination with some deep breathing exercises have helped occasionally in the past. I have had my blood pressure go up and cause me some headaches without me being able to figure out what they were from, but they usually transpired in the morning and I was able to alleviate them by eating some food and then getting into my wheelchair. Then my BP would bottom out. This happens more often than I would like also. Good luck I hope you're able to figure this out.
