What Causes Headache While Suffering From High BP?

I have been suffering from a sinus infection for months now. Originally diagnosed in March of this year, I ve done 8 rounds of antibiotics. 6 rounds of leviquin and 2 of ceftin(?). My zygomatic implant was removed on the left side in May. 3 weeks ago yesterday, I had sinus reconstruction and cleaning surgery. Follow up today with ENT showed no noticeable signs of infection, but i still have all the symptoms. The worst is a headache that seems centered behind the right eye into the temple area. I am on a low dose blood pressure med with a history of high hematicrit due to carbon monoxide poisoning years ago. Today, my blood pressure is 150/95/92. I m wondering if the headache is likely due to the bloodpressure rather than sinus issues.

Hello
Welcome to Ask a Doctor service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Hypertension may cause the headache but it is very less likely if sinusitis is there because sinusitis can cause the headache for sure and it has to be taken into consideration first beside several other known and nonspecific reasons are there that may cause the headache, to find out the cause of headache is challenging if this is not the apparent one. stress can be the cause too.
Hope I have answered your query, let me know for further assistance.
