Brief Answer:
Proper review, symptoms might/not be related

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the query,

The pounding headache might not be related to the inability to pee. Your blood pressure readings lately deserve to be evaluated. Uncontrolled hypertension with raised blood pressure levels can cause headaches. Other associated signs and symptoms like visual disorders, tearing, neck pain, nausea or vomiting and difficulties in seeing could be required to distinguish primary headaches (migraine, tension and cluster headaches) from secondary headaches(sinusitis, raised intracranial pressure, tumors, cerebral hemorrhage). A proper diagnosis could be made based on the clinical findings. A brain CT scan could be of utmost importance at some point in time.

Difficulties to be need a better or critical review. It is important to know if you have the urge to pee or not. If you got the urge, is because of pain that you can pee or lack of force to exert a voluntary contraction of the bladder to send out urine. the duration and circumstances under which you got difficulties in peeing would require further review. Any notion of spinal trauma in the past should be carefully noted. It is important to know if you have had any recent weakness of any side of the body or not. Any history of any blood in urine , urinary tract infection or diabetes. The joint opinions of your treating doctor (internist ir cardiologist) and a urologist if need be would be required.

I suggest and proper review by your treating physician. Kind regards as I wish you the best of health.
