Hello,
Natural methods take time to not work. But there are a lot of blood pressure medicines out there. In theory, diltiazem is less likely than most to cause headache and often use in migraine but people differ, and certainly many get headaches from it. Other drugs such as the ace family have very different effects and are quite unlikely to cause the same headache.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman
