Dear patient,
Thanks for the query. the blood pressure reading is normal, so unless there are major fluctuiations and increases throughout the day, this may not be the cause of the headache. The tight shorts issue is definitely unusual and should prompt you to visit your provider to see if this is edema (swelling) related to medications or other causes.
Hope that helps, wish you the best,
