Cardiologist 's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to high blood pressure or a migraine attack. An intracranial hemorrhage can not be excluded either.

For this reason, I recommend you to monitor his blood pressure values and give him Ibuprofen.

If the headache persists, I recommend going to the ER for a physical exam and a brain CT.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
