Headache, Increased Heartbeat. What Does This Mean?
Hi, my friend has a heart problem and he probably needs a bypass surgery because of the narrowings in his coronair arteries. He often has a stinging headache which runs from the front of his head to the left side of his head, and this goes together with a very fast heartbeat . What does this mean? Is there a connection between the fast heartbeat and the headache and what can he do best to soften the pain?

Hi , Welcome to HCM ,
few heart medicine like nitrates can cause headache ,
and subside by stopping nitrates or by simple pain killer ,
to much anxiety can cause headache ,
tell your friend to stay relax , take his medicine regularly , eat healthy food , avoid any addiction ,
and take proper sleep and do some stress relaxing yogas ,
if still persist than consult your cardiologist
take care
