What Causes Dizziness And Headaches While On Nialor?
I just started taking Nialor(1-2 pills/day) for about 1 week. Is it safe to use? I have hot flush after taking it in 1-2 hour which goes away soon. But I start to feel dizzy, headache and higher blood pressure. Is this normal with taking Nialor or it is caused by something else? I take it to lower cholesterol and triglycerides. My BP is under control before I take Nialor. Thanks. Eleanor YYYY@YYYY
