Hello there.
Since your blood pressure is within proper control with these medication, my opinion is to not change any medicines but to look into the cause of the headache.
Get your eyes checked, get a neurologist opinion into the cause of the headache because the headache may not be related to hypertension.
Continue your medicines properly and you will be fine. And also avoid triggering factors as much as possible because migraine may be a likely cause.
