severe headaches almost 3 weeks. no relief. pain medicine & regular headache pills have not eased the pain went to local doc a week ago but had to go to ER last night. was given a shot monday & sinus pills no relief & ER DOC ruled out sinus infection, blood work fine, scans okay . i have had a TIA a year ago, take metoprolol 2 times a day DOC thinks I should see my cardiologist, he thinks blood flow/oxygen could be a issue getting to the brain. i had a spell maybe 3 weeks back, chest pain, tightness so i took a nitrogyclerion pill pain went away, just concerned that the hole could be letting blood flow be limitied and that it causes this pain any info would be great

    Hi

    Sorry to hear you are having so much trouble, maybe it's a good idea to see your cardiologist. High blood pressure can cause headaches as can stress and worry. Perhaps you need your medication altered but I am not a professional. It's hard not to worry but try not too and make that cardio appointment.
