You can check it yourself with a blood pressure cuff. Or ask a pharmacist. I don't think your doctor necessarily is the only one to ask. You might be able to take a calcium channel blocker instead btw.
Or look at the side effect list. Here is one on the list:
"dizziness, faintness, or lightheadedness when getting up suddenly from a lying or sitting position" as well as "hypotension."
Hypotension (low blood pressure) can also cause headaches because oxygen to the brain may be affected.
Check your blood pressure! My doc said that side effect was definitely from the med and I didn't have it when I stopped. Be careful: these meds need to be tapered though.
