He has always had some issues with headaches, but they seem to be getting worse lately. Recently, he has a brief episode in the shower where the pain in his head became incredibly severe and he couldn't see or hear. It passed quickly, but I did convince him to go to medical. The doctor seems to think that this is some sort of migraine issue and gave him some pain meds without doing any diagnostic tests. There is at least one person in the family a few generations back who had migraines and died of a massive hemorrhage later in life which the doctor also knows. Apparently, his blood pressure and heart rate were elevated, and so, he had been having him come in for periodic checks on his vitals. Earlier this week, his resting HR was 112 bpm and the upper number for his BP was in the 140's. I didn't get his lower number. This is a guy who is 25, eats well, is not one to regularly drink to excess, and is in great physical shape. Cardiac issues do not run in the family. If anything, it's the opposite. I don't want to lose my son because of this shot or medical negligence. I don't understand why hasn't at least done an MRI. Am I overreacting? Doing this type of research is not my forte. I'd appreciate any helpful information/input and also prayer. Thank you!

He needs an MRI! ASAP! My mom used to get horrible severe migraines, we later found out she had a brain aneurysm. She’s in her 80s but she was affected by it and we still have to keep watch over her with meds.
That's been my thought from the beginning. I'm not a doctor, but I'd rather see things ruled out than have something go wrong.
