I was congested last week and I have had a headache off and one (fairly painful currently) and it seems to be on the surface rather than internal (it is sore to the touch on my forehead, above my right eye). I have heard of head colds setteling , is the expression, which can cause headaches but I am uncertain if that is a myth. I also have high blood pressure. I am a 43 year old male, 6 1 , 194 lbs.
