Hi, thanks for asking from HCM.


I can understand your concern. The headache could be due to

: Drug side effect - both lasix and warfarin can cause headache. It is usually diffuse headache, occurs after 30-60 minute of taking drug, non radiating.

: Sinusitis headache - Frontal sinusitis can cause headache in forehead region. It is dull, heaviness of head, increases with nasal blockade in cold environment, associated with nasal discharge, relief with steam/hot food or drink.

: Stress headache - It can be suspected if there is band like sensation around forehead, dull pain, eye fatigue, more pain with bright light/stress, pain persists even after taking medication/sleeping.

You can match your symptoms and reach upto some conclusion.

Treatment is

: Drug induced - Consult doctor for gradual tapering of medication and replace it with other drug.
Do not do it yourself.
In acute pain, you can take tablet Diclofenac after proper prescription.

: Sinusitis
Take steam 4-6times daily
Take warm or hot food
Avoid cold food, environment
Use warm saline nasal drops 4-6 times daily
You can take tablet Paracetamol-xylometazoline-Cetrizine after proper prescription.
Take antibiotic course like Co-amoxyclav therapy after proper prescription.

: Stress headache - It is treated by
avoiding stress
proper 8 hour sleep
head massage
take tablet paracetamol or Diclofenac after proper prescription.
avoid bright light

Hope it will help. Take care.
