Advice on headaches possibly related to heart

Hi everyone, my father has been suffering from extreme head pain, lightheadness, spells of blacking out, paleness, nausea and other symptoms. He has had two MRIs on his head which the neurologist keep referring him back to the cardiology team as they keep saying it’s fine. They have done a myocardial infusion test which came back normal, however they wouldn’t allow him to do the treadmill test as they said his blood pressure was so high he’d have a heart attack. He has been suggested for tilt table test which hopefully comes soon. He has also got AF which cardiologists said he doesn’t need medication for yet other people have questioned them that he needs to be. Just wondered if anyone has any head pain that could be related to the heart or if it is any other possible reasonings as this is the main issue of concern. Thank you!!

there are many possible reasons. Poor hydration. Hot weather. Trigeminal neuralgia. A long-ago accident making itself felt. Brain tumour. Poor nutrition. Lack of exercise.

You say he has high blood pressure, this may induce headaches in some people. Suggest you go to the website of Blood Pressure UK for information and guidance.
