Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

I read carefully your question and understand your concern.
I would like to know more about your headache:
-is it pressure like or throbbing?
-Do you feel other symptoms like nausea or intolerance to the light?
-what are your actual blood pressure values?
-Is this a different type of headache than before?

I recommend consulting with an neurologist for a careful physical examination, and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate).

A brain CT scan may be needed if suspicions of a possible secondary headache are raised (headache related to a brain lesion).

Meanwhile I recommend you to closely monitor your blood pressure during the day and refer these values to your doctor.

Hope to have been of help!
Greetings! Dr. Aida Quka
