Best Answer

My cancer certainly has caused persistent headaches. I've been diagnosed with IV base of tongue cancer which has spread to lymph nodes on both sides of the neck. I've had headaches every day for the last month (about as long as I've been diagnosed). It's not severe, but constant dull pain. I start chemo and radiation tomorrow, hopefully will begin to see relief and tumor shrinkage.

Can high blood pressure cause headache?

It can, but more typically, it does not. Usually, if there is a related headache, it is in the occipital area (at the back of the head near the neck), but it may be totally unrelated. Both high blood pressure and persistent or severe headaches should be evaluated by a physician. Sudden severe headaches need urgent evaluation and usually are caused by something other than high blood pressure, but it is not impossible for that to be the cause.
