So, I have the flu. Flu-ish, anyways. I've had a headache for upwards of 48 hours now, and I'm at my wits end. I can't take anything with ibuprofen or acetaminophen, since they aggregate my high blood pressure. I'm also forced to take some amlodipine besylate every day for my hypertension, but one of the side effects is headaches (Which seem to have made my pain much, much worse).
I don't really know any home remedies besides a hot bath and lots of sleep, but any tips would be great. I can't eat either, but in the past two days I've drank ridiculous amounts of water. I'd say the pain right now is a 6/10, but it seems to randomly get worse.
Any tips? Thanks. I have to get this cleared up before the 27th, since I have an echo-cardiogram in the city then.
