What Causes Headache And Dizziness While On Amiodarone?

I have been taking Amiodarone 200 MGonce a day and Eliquis 5MGtwice a day and I am experiencing severe headache and dizziness. When I get up to use the washroom everything started spinning and I have to grab hold of somthing to stop from falling. I have been to my cardiologist and he said I have vertical, and prescribed Meclizine 25MG and take two tablets by mouth twice daily to combat the dizziness and it helped somewhat but every now and then when getting up i still get dizzy and have to sit a while till it passes. But I still have severe headache most of the day. He sent me down for a cat scan of my head and that has come back clear. Now they say take Tylenol but it don t even phase it. I have never had this before takeing this medicine.
