Hello welcome to HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
No. Only angioplasty (stents on heart vessels) do not cause headache and dizziness. There must be some other reason for that.
Do your 24 hrs ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, which will give you adequate idea regarding blood pressure fluctuations which can cause giddiness and headache.
Ask your doctor about side effects of medicines also, as some of the medicines may cause headache like tab nikorandil.
Thank you.
Have a nice day.
