Patient: my dad is 70 yrs old.he has got a BP of 170/100.last month it was 160/90.recently complained of a mild shiver feeling.since then he has got a mild headache alternately on the two sides.at present he is taking (i) cilacar 10 mg(ii) zurig 80 mg (iii) thyroid 12.5 mg(iv) ketosteril 2 tab twice daily. for treatment of high creatine and uric acid.is the headche a side effect of the medicine he is taking? Doctor: Hi,The headache is rather caused by high blood pressure than by medications.He should take his medications and if he still has high blood pressure, he should visit his physician to revise the treatment to have a better controlled blood pressure, and mist probably headaches will disappear gradually when blood pressure is well controlled.Take care
