head pressure from high blood pressure

I got this squeezing head pressure with high blood pressure and high heart rate. It makes me feel woozy and shaky when it happens.

Hi,
Are you receiving any treatment for your high blood pressure?

No I do not have constant high blood pressure. I have blood pressure spikes that happen randomly. I assume it is panic related beacause after it happens I will start to shake a bit.
Typically my normal bp is low normal.

Oh thanks, have you tried any calming exercises to help with the panic.

I just let it come on and do it's thing. I use the DARE method. It doesn't seem to do anything for my labile high blood pressure sadly

Ooh, yeah. High blood pressure is not fun. I got my first bout of it when I stressed for a whole year before I had to move. Thankfully, after watching what I ate, getting enough water and doing calming techniques help lower it.
