3. Listening to the Wind in the Quiet Night

I am a grassroots medical worker in the Tianshui area, 35 years old. Recently, I have often experienced mild headaches—distending pain that is still tolerable. My blood pressure is generally normal, though sometimes my diastolic pressure is slightly elevated. What could be the cause, and what treatment options are available?

A: Your condition should first be considered as neuralgia, also known as migraine or vascular-neural headache. This is the most common type of headache. The slightly elevated diastolic pressure suggests possible arteriosclerosis. It is recommended to check lipid levels and other related indicators.
