Dr. Sheila Calderon answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Headache: Check your blood pressure and make sure your blood pressure is not elevated and causing a headache. Otherwise it may be a tension headache, or if you have had migraines or cluster headaches on that side it may be related to that.
