Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.
I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having persisting headache and dizziness following use of minocycline. The drugs belonging to this group are known to cause increase in the intracranial pressure hence evaluation is required to rule out this as a cause for your symptoms of headache and dizziness.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Hope this is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.
Thank you
With regards
