Hello,

Don't worry, headache and tingling sensation may be a side effect of above medication. Drink plenty of liquids, the drug half life is 12-24 hr so if the symptoms not improved please consult with your physician immediately he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
