After taken this medication 500mg mayb after an hour or so I tends to get this burning headache,I was reading some of the replies to this medication (metformin) and I not sure if that is what I'm experiencing the hotness+headaches,I also notice when I have taken 1000 which my dr.wants me to take it it drops it too low. ## Hi, Helen! Sorry about the headaches you've been experiencing. How are you feeling today? The headache may actually be due to your sugar dropping too low, they can manifest as symptom of it being too high or too low. Do you check your levels when you get one?
