Thank you for posting your query in healthcare magic.com...
See alpha methyl dopa is the drug of choice for high bp during pregnancy...it is used extensively for this indication....
Nicardia or nifedipine has no proved risks in pregnancy, but it is generally avoided in pregnancy if possible...it has headache as side effects, so your headaches might be because of this...
I would suggest you to go to your doctor and he might replace nicardia with other medications if needed...and you can always have tab paracetamol SOS for headache...
Hope this was helpful...
Regards
