Hello dear,
Coverta increase blood supply( vasodilator) and cause headache, dizziness and visual disturbances.
To reduce the symptoms you should sit and stand slowly in the morning ( due to hypotension).
You can take painkiller and antacid after consulting your doctor.
If you have persistent headache than consult your treating doctor for the same.
The problem usually resolve in 3-4 days.
