Nicorandil Headache

I stopped taking nicorandil 4 days ago but am still having terrible headaches. Is this normal? ## How long were you taking it? Some side effects may linger for a few weeks, after stopping any given medication, according to NIH reports. It may also cause nausea, dizziness, and increased urination. Has there been any improvement, yet? Have you switched to a different medication?
