high cholesterol
What are your cholesterol numbers? BP? blood glucose? any medication?
I am afraid I have to be very careful in what I say under the new guide lines.! Please check with your GP practice or chemist.
Mine is off the charts from my last visit. I have never experienced headaches with my high levels. That doesn't mean it's not linked tho. I get a minor one if I run out of bp meds till I refill them. But that's me. Could have adverse effects on others. I was curious tho regarding ur bp. Just a thought. Peace
thanks for your comment I will try that to see if it can help .
Please consult your GP to do more checks to identify the headache problems.
As a retired person with elevated cholesterol, I am afraid I am unable to answer the question on high cholesterol and headaches.
Any incident in a playing field or a fall?
Any stress or change in food intake or environmental change at home or work place?
I've had both high cholesterol and high blood pressure but neither has caused me headaches. I believe it is quite normal to have these conditions without having any other indications. That's why all adults,certainly above 30, should have tests either by having a blood sample and blood pressure taken arranged by their doctors surgery.
Both my father & I had/have very occassional migrains (pretty flashy lights ) and although I don't know what his CH levels were, his physical symptoms (arcus, CH deposits, lumpy tendons, etc) implies that they were probably as high as mine were.
What I don't know is if there was a link between the two.
