Recurring migraine attacks can be a sign that you have high blood pressure, also called hypertension, but migraine disease can also put you at a higher risk of developing high blood pressure.
Researchers are working to fully understand the link between high blood pressure and migraine; it’s unclear whether one causes the other, or whether there is another factor that may cause them both.
Whatever the case, it’s important for anyone with high blood pressure to get it under control, and that’s especially true for people with other risk factors for heart disease, including migraine.
