Suggest Treatment For Headache While On Telpres AM

Hi, I have silent hypertension and have been prescribed Telpres AM 40 from the past 2 days. My BP is 130-140/96-100 mmHg in the morning. During the day, it falls to 100-110/90 mmHg. I am experiencing incapacitating heaviness of head. I am also not able to sleep at night. Should the medicine be changed? My blood heamtology and liver function tests are normal.
