I don't know. It could mean next to nothing since it is described as mild, but you should ask your doctor if it means anything significant.  (I had a whole bunch of mild stuff on my scans which two different doctors told me were nothing out of the ordinary.)  But the doctor that knows your specifics is really the one to ask.

Is your headache okay now?  Please let me know. I hope so.  

The BP does go high when someone is in a lot of pain.  I  don't know if you have high BP normally.

I would be interested in what your doctor has to say.  Good luck.
