Dizziness and headache after taking antihypertensive drugs may be too low blood pressure, adverse drug reactions or the emergence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. 1.

Adverse drug reactions: some drugs such as nifedipine extended-release tablets/controlled-release tablets, amlodipine tablets and other calcium antagonists can act on cerebral blood vessels, which may cause cerebral vasodilatation of the adverse drug reactions, resulting in dizziness and headache symptoms. 3.
