What's causing my mother to feel like there is pressure at her temples? Menopause? Blood pressure pill?


She feels pressure at the temples on the sides of her head. A hormone test shows she's going through menopause. She started taking a pill that contains hydrochlorothiazide for her high blood pressure several months ago. Is one, or both, of these factors making her head feel this way?

Menopause can produce headaches. Excess Estrogen causes swelling in the brain the same way it does in the breast. Enlarged blood vessels in the brain causes most migraine headaches. Estrogen can also deplete magnesium levels, which makes arteries more susceptible to spasm, a common cause of other types of headaches. For many women, it鈥檚 that simple. If you have premenstrual headaches, progesterone cream and magnesium will usually cure the within three menstrual cycles.

Although regular coffee drinking is not recommended, a cup or two of full-strength coffee along with an ice pack on the sides of the forehead can very effectively ward off a migraine headache. Both the caffeine and the ice cause the blood vessels to constrict.

Progesterone helps to restore normal vascular tone, counteracting the blood vessel dilation that causes the headache.

She can try rubbing chocolate chip-sized doses of NATURAL progesterone cream into her temples, up to four times a day. It usually does the trick!

Or it could be inflamed sinuses.
