headahces/pressure

[Janine22]

I get really bad headaches and pressure on the back of my head, also hear heart pounding and times where I can hear it in my head and feel it. Just wondering if this is serious and what it could be?

When i was a child i had partial cerebral palsy and have suffered from seizures all my life. How ever i had test done recently and found out that nothing shows such as brain tumors. They did however found that my blood is very thick and have advised me to take aspirin every day to thinin my blood. I also take high blood presure pills and tegretol to control seizures. Please help. What to do and what is causing what i have?

I don't know how old you are or anything but if you haven't had your blood pressure checked lately be sure to do this.  Now just some tips for you when you do this... Try to relax!  Now that I've told you that you will be stressed about relaxing- but it truely is critical to try and relax to get a true reading.  Also be sure to take the blood pressure after you have been relaxing or sitting down for about 10-15 minutes-- 5 at the minimum.  If the numbers are reading higher than normal seek medical attention.  The normal range for blood pressures range from 100-150/50-100.  The closer you are getting to the 150 on the top or the 100 on the bottom the more concern that would raise.
