Brief Answer:
Suggestive of side effects of the medications.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM.
I appreciate your concern for the headache and the change of taste.

I can understand your problem, in view of dehydration headache can occur due to loss of electrolytes from the body.
Altered taste sensation can occur due to the medications you have been taking, this is a reversible side effect of the medications.

You are advised to take plenty of oral fluids, particularly ORS, juice, etc to replenish the lost electrolytes.

Hope this answers your query.
Wishing you a quick recovery from the dehydration.,
