Hello!

Thank you for asking on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I would recommend taking acetaminophen or naproxen. These drugs are helpful in headaches and do not raise your blood pressure.

Meanwhile, I would recommend you to measure your blood pressure, because high blood pressure could be the cause of headache, especially in old aged persons.

Hope to have been helpful!
Greetings!
Dr. Aida
