Abstract
Association between mild to moderate hypertension and headache is probably coincidental. Severe sustained hypertension, malignant hypertension and paroxysmal hypertension (sudden rise) are associated with severe headache. Transient hypertension can occur during an attack of migraine or cluster headache. Hypertension may increase the frequency and severity of migraine in migraineurs and may transform an episodic migraine into chronic daily headache. Concomitant treatment of hypertension is important in these patients.
Study Snapshot
Hypertension may increase the frequency and severity of migraines, and combining migraine treatment with hypertension treatment may help prevent chronic daily headaches.

Increased expression in calcitonin-like receptor induced by aldosterone in cerebral arteries from spontaneously hypertensive rats does not correlate with functional role of CGRP receptor
Aldosterone increases calcitonin-like receptor expression in spontaneously hypertensive rats, but does not alter vasodilation to CGRP, as RAMP1 expression remains unchanged.
