Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Severe headache is possibly due to anemia and hence reduced oxygenation causing weakenss, dizziness and hence a feel of headache.
2. Medication and reduced WBC count possibly resulting in infection of GI tract could be making you nauseous.
3. Continue the therapy and try to improve the various blood counts.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
