High blood pressure can cause you to have a headache, and this kind of headache signals an emergency. This occurs when your blood pressure becomes dangerously high. A hypertension headache will usually occur on both sides of your head and is typically worse with any activity.

I'm dealing with Sinus Arrhythmia and have been on Cordarone 100 daily. I recently had a 24-hour Holter monitor test, which showed many periods of Sinus Bradycardia and frequent PVCs. My Echo cardiogram says LVEF is 72 with Trivial MRTR. Everything else like my ECG, lipid, thyroid, kidney, and liver profiles are coming back normal. My HbA1c is at 4.9 and my hemoglobin is 15.10. Can you please help me understand what all this means and if there's anything specific I should be doing or worrying about?
