Nifedipin and headaches

Written by: Dr. Rowena | Posted: Apr 08 2009

Q: I’m 52 years old and just started taking Nifedipin for my BP. This is the first time that I’m taking BP medicine. This particular medicine is causing me a terrible headache. Is this normal and will these headaches go away after I keep using this medication?

A: Headache is a common side effect of Nifedipin. You should talk to your doctor about prescribing a treatment that doesn’t make you feel bad. Other drug options are available as is the blood pressure lowering device, the RESPeRATE.
