What Causes Headaches After Taking Betahistine?

I take 16 mg of betahistine 3x daily for Ménière s disease . I have started getting localized headaches on my left side of my head... Coughing , sneezing and bending over without keeping my head up make it worse. Just worried it could be something worse than the meds.
