Dear sir
It seems from the drug history that you are having beta blocker induced headache and dizziness. Topirol 50 mg is a beta blocker which causes the symptoms or headache due to its drug property.
It is advised to continue rest of the treatment and discuss with your doctor regarding alternative betablockers
Thanks
