Does Cholesterol And High Blood Pressure Cause Heaviness In The Head?
My mother in law is obese, she takes high blood pressure tablets as and when she needs. Her GP does not want to prescribe cholesterol medicine as he wants her to change her diet and life style . She does not do any exercise , house work etc. she is complaining of heavy head.is thus related to cholesterol. Her cholesterol is not that high.

Dear Sir/ Madam
Thanks for writing to us.
There is no direct correlation between the headache and cholesterol. The high blood pressure (when severely high) or its medications may be associated with headache. You can consult your GP regarding this issue and see if she has low BP on standing or she has some medication which can induce headache.
