Hello,
The headache is not related to inguinal hernia.
It can be related to two factors:
- High blood pressure which should be treated properly by a cardiologist.
-Low ferritin level which can cause iron deficient anemia.
I see through the query that you are already treating the deficiency with supplements.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
