Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Headache may be due to sinus infection with BPPV or hypotension or hypoglycemia or elevated blood pressure or raised intracranial tension or cardiac problem or migraine.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.

Avoid spicy food and alcohol, avoid smoking and caffeine drinks.

Check blood pressure and hemoglobin status. Check blood sugar etc.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.

Please consult your neurophysician, he will examine and do CT brain and treat you accordingly.

Take care.
