My symptoms are high blood pressure, vomiting, and headaches. What could this be?

These symptoms have been going on for about 5 days now and I can’t seem to keep any food down. I am also having pretty severe headaches that get somewhat better when I take medication. I am concerned what this might be…
Any help?

You might have migraines caused by high blood pressure, depending on how severe your headaches are.

Regardless, you should seek medical attention immediately. Five days without holding down any food is serious.

I think some sort of food poisoning, or a bad allergic reaction to a food product.

I know what it is — it’s a need to go to the ER right away. This is typical of food poisonings and other types of poisoning, and will only get worse with time.

how do you know u have high bp? did you take it manually? there could be several things going on. after vomiting or nausea for more the 48 hours u should seek a medical professionals advice in regards to your care plan. What meds did you take for the headache? At this point if you have not been able to keep foods down for 5 days you are probably dehydrated and need iv fluids. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION!

I’m curious if you have ever suffered from Migraine headaches. Some of your symptoms can coincide with a Migraine sufferer. The high blood pressure could be due to your anxiety and worry. But should be checked by a doctor.

When you say that you are taking medication, are you taking aspirin, or a doctor prescribed medication? For headaches, the only over the counter medication that works for me is Advil.

You could have eaten something that didn’t agree with you, that could bring on some of your described symptoms relating to a touch of food poisioning. Or you could have a virus. Obviously, if you don’t get better (5 days of this should be plenty enough), you should consult a doctor. Do try to keep yourself hydrated. Drink water at least, or suck on ice, if water won’t stay down.

I hope you feel better.

those are symptoms of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) more commonly known as stroke. it can alse be described as brain attack, similar to heart attack. go to the doctor immediately so drugs can be prescribed to prevent a transient ischemic attack (TIA).
its best to go the doctor immediately. other symptoms you might feel are numbness or weakness on one side of your body, paresis also still at one side. dont wait for this to happen. if indeed, you are experiencing symptoms of stroke, the disease can be managed with discipline. a low salt low fat diet, exercise, and compliance to your treatment regimen.
