Hello,
Heart rate below 40 is dangerous and might cause serious problems. Headache is unrelated and may be a tension or cluster headache. As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief. Consult a cardiologist and get an ECG done to rule out conditions like arrhythmia.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
