Brief Answer:
Recommend further evaluation of heart

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

In view of the symptoms expressed I suggest further evaluation in a 46 yr old who is on drugs for high blood pressure. The blood pressure is definitely not under control with one medication. The dose of Stamlo seems insufficient to start with. It can be changed after consultation of the doctor. The headache could be because of the uncontrolled blood pressure. Tension headache needs to be evaluated.

The left sole pain may not be related to blood pressure a thorough evaluation by Orthopedic surgeon/Neurologist is needed.
