That is a very low dose for hypertensive medication, it is possible to not have the medications, if you're able to change your lifestyle. The constant headaches are in relation with your increased blood pressure. Few steps which can help in reducing the blood pressure are:
- Eat a healthy and clean diet, avoid salty and deep fried food.
- Have a DASH(Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension) Diet by eating fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, low-fat dairy products, lean meats, fish, and nuts, eliminating foods that are high in saturated fats, such as processed foods, full-fat dairy products, and fatty meats, it also helps to cut back on desserts and sweetened beverages, such as soda and fruit punch.
- Exercise regularly, maintain a healthy weight as per your BMI(exercise 30-60 minutes per day)
- Avoid or stop drinking and smoking as these habits will increase the blood pressure
- Destress yourself with practices such as yoga, meditation
Map and record your BP in a book, if the headache continues to be persistent visit the nearest ER.
