Hi I m on vacation and in the sun. I had a heart attack in February and am on new medications. I have had for the last three days a pounding, throbbing headache that won t quit. The new meds that I m on are Diovan, for high blood pressure and effient, a blood thinner, do an of these have headache side effects or can it be the sun?

Dear
I am sorry for the heart problems you suffered
No one of those medications cause headache so you need to avoid staying in the sun
You can use analgesics (paracetamol) or pain killers (ibuprofen) to reliaf it but you should still avoid sun
Staying in the sun isn't reccomended even for the cardiac problem you suffered in the past
Hope my answer will help you
Best regards
