What Could Shortness Of Breath With Headache In Elderly Males Suggest?
I am experiencing shortness of breath and a throbbing in my head (forehead) when I exert myself. I am also experiencing a Minor headache which is continuous. I felt a little nauseous yesterday afternoon. I also experienced an ocular migraine yesterday afternoon. I rarely have headaches. I am a 49 year old male in what I consider to be excellent health. 75 inches tall weighing 195 lbs. My last visit to my primary care provider was two months ago.

Hi,
Headaches can be treated with analgesics like acetaminophen. However, nausea with headache can be due to migraine or other cardiovascular problems if accompanied with shortness of breath.
Kindly consult a physician/ cardiologist regarding this and please get an ECG and other non invasive cardiac tests done to rule out any cardiac problems .
