How long have you been on the Verapamil? One thing CCB's can do is relax the blood vessels and in some cases, people do get nasty headaches. I take Dilitazem and until my body adjusted (two weeks) I had some whopper headaches. Felt like my head was on a bouncing shish-kabob skewer. They eventually tapered off. If you've been on the med for a month or so and still have really bad headaches, ask your doctor about changing to a different type of Verapamil (smaller dose 2 x a day for example) or a different medication all together.
