Hi,
Nikoran and Sorbitrate can cause headaches and you can stop it. Use tab Sorbitrate sublingually whenever needed.
Your symptoms are suggestive heart disease so you should get your test done.
Avoid salty diet, monitor your blood pressure.
Is it controlled on current medicine or not?
You need to have healthy lifestyle and also need to add some medicine like atorvastatin.
These medications will be needed lifelong and you should take it. get back with your bp reading and reports if any so that we can optimize the medicine.
