Headaches when i stand up or have been at comp.

[jue67]

Hi i have health anx.

i take meds for bp which is now at 140 over 75 gp said this is ok
just for the past few days i have been getting a headache on top of my head, like pulsing as well. i then feel dizzy but dont know if this is the worry over the headaches, other half seems to think it is. my eyes feel tired but i have spent a lot of time on comp playing solitaire over the past few days cos ive been off work sick after pulling my muscles after coughing for nights on end.
any thoughts

140 over 75 bp is fine. Mine gets up to 140 over 87 when I'm anxious (which is when they take my bp!). It sounds like you've not been very well which will push your blood pressure up, and that you have eye strain from using the computer a lot. That could cause your headaches. Have you had a cold or the flu? I find that sinus pressure can cause headaches that get worse with certain movements like leaning forward.

Yes!
You answered it yourself, you are sitting in front of your computer too long. No more than an hour at a time or you can end up with headaches and muscle tension.

Eye strain can cause headaches - Which you'll probably have from being at the computer all the time.
Also, if your slouching at the computer the muscles in your neck can make you get headaches - I get them, I have poo posture.x
