Heart Issue/Headaches
Posted: Sun Sep 15, 2019 10:05 pm
I had a TIA, just over a year ago, born with a heart murmur, no issues until recently. I take metoprolol 50mg 2 timers a day, also take baby aspirin. Aug 24th I had a spell, chest pain, tightness & heaviness so I took a nitroglycerin tablet, it eased the pain. For almost 2 weeks now I have had severe headaches, very tired & even some dizziness throughout the day. Regular aspirin, Tylenol & ibuprofen 600/800 have no affect on my headaches. Went to doctor Monday, got 2 shots & medicine for severe sinus infection, was also given pain medicine. I could take the pain anymore Sat the 14th so we went to the ER, they ruled out sinus infection, did some blood test & scans. Could not find anything that would cause the headaches. They want me to see my cardiologist because they think that blood flow/oxygen to the brain could be causing the pain in my head. I have no relief, nothing eases it, constant pain, tired & I have had some heart flurries since the episode a few weeks back. Just concerned that the home I have may be causing a lack of sufficient flow to my brain. Should I be concerned if this is the case. Just do t feel well at all, weak & pain bad for me probably 7 on 1-10 scale & it’s constant. Thanks for any info the TIA I had was scary moment for me & my family. I turn 40 in a few months and I just need to be around longer
