Hello and thanks for writing in at HCM
As per your mail you are taking lot of antihypertensive medication to control the bloop pressure along with anti epileptic drugs and drowsiness is the most common symptoms of these medication and after Head Injury. Also wants to know the duration of injury?
Try to reduce to salt intake and take low sodium diet.
If possible do regular exercise or physiotherapy.
try to keep yourself active and busy in some work like reading books or watching TV etc in which you are interested.
In EDH and SHD patient we have to keep the blood pressure in normal limits so change you life style and diet which control your BP and consult your doctor for revising the treatment for Hypertension.
Hope this will help you out.
