Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
In your case, the headache seems to be because of high blood pressure. Control the blood pressure with medication and monitor blood pressure. Take low salt diet. Regular exercise will be beneficial in controlling blood pressure. Avoid stress, smoking and lack of sleep like precipitating factor. Provide history regarding viral flu, if present.
For groin pain, local examination needs to be done first.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami
