Hi,

Thanks for your query.

You did not state your age but if you have not been evaluated by a physician you need to do so immediately. The reason I advise this is because the symptoms you describe here are common with heart and blood pressure problems, including angina (due to your heart arteries not delivering enough blood to the muscle), a mild heart attack or stroke, or hypertension.

You need immediate evaluation now and I encourage you to have someone take you to the nearest emergency room or physician.

Hi,

That blood pressure is a bit high so I would make sure to have that followed up with your doctor as that could be causing your headache too.
