Headache and seeing halos around lights are symptoms that should be reported for a patient with POAG as they may indicate increasing pressure in the eye. Hypotension and bradycardia, fever and reddened conjunctiva, and loss of central vision and dizziness are not typical symptoms of POAG and should be reported to the healthcare provider for further evaluation.
