Brief Answer:
Unlikely due to tablet

Detailed Answer:
Dear friend, greetings from HCM.
I son'r think your symptoms are due to the drug. Get your blood pressure checked. Get thyroid hormone levels too.
Mostly with this drug symptoms of hypoglycemia are seen like giddieness, palpitation, headache that too if you forget or delay taking food after taking the tablet .
Hydrate your body well take more of green leafy vegetables.
Wait for 2 to 3 days if the symptoms persists please meet your doctor for further evaluation.
