HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, Nicorandil is vasodilatory drug due to nitrate property it causes the headache, I have seen or noticed that all the drugs those have the nitrate property can cause the headache, sublingual dose could cause more headache than the swallowed drug, you could change the timing of drug, the drug mainly given for angina if you do not have the this then so this drug can be avoided, better to discuss this with your physician hope this information helps.
