Brief Answer:
Blood pressure changes to consider.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

Changes in blood pressure may cause such symptoms, so, it is necessary to monitor your blood pressure for a couple of days and in different body position (laying, sitting and standing).

If abnormal values, you should discuss with your Doctor about further steps in treatment.

If normal values, headaches due to physical effort are a probable explanation and should subside with time.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Take care.
