Thanks for asking at Healthcare magic. I read your question and I understand your concern.
Headache with Stabismus of eye in the presence of blood clot in lung and on warfarin is highly suggestive of blood clot or bleeding in brain.
Needs Urgent CT and if that was inconclusive then MRI Brain.
Do workup for his blood clotting in lung to digout the cause through peripheral smear, Echo, Thrmbophilia screen.
Hope it helps best.
Don't forget to rate this answer after you come from ER and get relax.
Take your best care and of your husband.
