Hello @swenglert,
Welcome to Connect. we're so glad you've joined us, and thank you for sharing your history.
Here's what I found: "Cardiac cephalgia is a type of secondary headache disorder, usually initiated by exertion that is related to myocardial ischemia."

I'm tagging @bibi12 @amynewheart @fr0ggie @murryone @jms7 @cynaburst, who have experience with cardiomyopathy, and you may also be interested in these discussions on cardiomyopathy:

While we wait for members to join in, I'd also encourage you to read this information from Mayo Clinic about myocardial ischemia:

@swenglert, have the doctors explained what type of cardiomyopathy you might have?

Hi @swenglert,
Thank you for the update. Here's a more recent article on Non-Ischemic Cardiomyopathy that you may wish to view: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5089491/
I'm also tagging Mentor @predictable, as he may have some more insight for you.

Hi @kanaazpereire
According to CC, I have non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. That's my confusion with the cardiac headaches. i really don't have blockages for the rare symptom. The small vessel disease could be causing it which is also rare.
