[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 307796, member: 1233"] When you are mad and raging your blood pressure goes up. This can cause a horrible headache. If possible, check his blood pressure when he is not upset or raging. Tell him you want to know what it is for each member of the family. Let him check your BiPolar (BP) if he wants. If he balks use a treat to get his cooperation. If candy, let him have one piece/serving. Then each time you check it give him that same treat. After a rage you should check it again. See what it is doing. It may grate to give him a treat after a rage, but cooperating with the blood pressure monitoring is very important. Important enough to go ahead with the treat, in my opinion. Once you check the BiPolar (BP), get an appointment with his pediatrician or psychiatrist and get their opinion. BiPolar (BP) may rise or drop with anger. Either one can cause headaches, and the docs need this info to help him with mood and with the headaches. Has his glucose tolerance ever been checked? That A1C thingy? Drops in blood sugar, or rapid increases, can cause headaches. And glucose level changes can trigger aggression. I am sorry he is having rages and headaches, but the headaches may be an important piece of this puzzle. [/QUOTE]
