Brief Answer:
Please, control your BP during this time and report to me for evaluation!

Detailed Answer:
HI and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these symptoms of light headache you have reported after taking these drugs. The 50mg might be causing a greater drop in your blood pressure which explains this feeling. I will like that you go ahead and control your blood pressure after taking this drug(both the 25 and 50mg) to see what the difference is. If the problem is a greater than desired drop in blood pressure, I will suggest that you go ahead an talk to your doctor about reviewing this drug and adjusting the dosage. For now, report these readings to me for more insights.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
