Answer 1

T o relieve your headache :- if you have vinegar in the house use it on a face flannel. 1st  dampen the cloth first with water, wring out the excess liquid then pour vinegar on the cloth and put it on your forehead then lie in a darkened room turning the cloth over each time you feel it is getting warm. Hope this advice helps.

Answer 2

Cut down on sodium in your diet. Deep breathing exercises helps dilate your blood vessels. Relax as much as you can until you see the doctor.

Answer 3

Your blood pressure should not be that high.  I hope you are on medication for it.  If you've been outside and sweating a lot you could be dehydrated.  You could also have a low blood sugar level.  Or it could just be stress from the test.  High blood pressure normally doesn't produce symptoms, that's why it's called the silent killer.

So take a nice long relaxing bath or hot shower, drink some chamomile tea, close your eyes and relax.  Turn off the computer and go to bed.

Answer 4

You describe a medical problem that needs to be addressed by a competent local practitioner who can examine you.

Answer 5

Decrease your sodium (salt). Drink more fluids (water).

As for the headache, use a cool cloth on your forehead and lay in a dark, quiet room.

Do get in to see your doctor kiddo. Maybe after school tomorrow.
