According to the research available, most studies show that headache is not a symptom of high blood pressure unless a person is in hypertensive crisis. Hypertensive crisis is a medical emergency where blood pressure is more than 180/120 mm Hg with other symptoms such as nose bleed, chest pain and breathlessness. During this episode, headache can occur which is usually on both sides, pulsating type and increases with activity.

My dad experienced some chest pain and his blood pressure was pretty high last night, so we decided to get an ECG done this morning. The results are in, and they mention something about a non-specific T wave abnormality. I'm trying to figure out what that means exactly. Any chance you could help us understand this a bit better?
