Doctor. Sinus headache shouldn't cause sig BP elevation nor swelling. You need to get BP to a normal range, watch your sodium/salt intake & make sure your kidney's are functioning ok.

Sleep apnea or thyroid problems might also be factors.

Zpack (azithromycin) is an antibiotic and does not treat the symptoms of headache- just an underlying infection which may be the cause of the headache. A sinus headache is caused by pressure from congestion in the sinuses. If your blood pressure is fine, a decongestant such as Pseudoephedrine could be taken along with the zpack to relieve the congestion. Ibuprofen can help with pain and inflammati.
