Hello, ETAZ01! How are you? I'm sorry about the headaches.

Yes, it is possible. The FDA classifies Methylprednisolone as a steroid class medication, so it can cause that, as well as nausea, dizziness, insomnia and elevated blood pressure.

It may even be a combination of both having taking the medication and your sinuses. The antibiotic can also cause headaches, in some people that take it. How many more days of it do you have to take?

Other antibiotic side effects may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

It could take a couple weeks, for all such side effects to wear off.

However, if you don't have any improvement soon, then please consult your doctor.

Has it continued easing up?

I went back to the Doctor, looks like I have tension headaches. Could have been a mixture sinus, medicine and a bad cold causing my headaches, I still have them and everyday it's getting a bit better. I think a spa massage is in order for me :/)Thank you for checking in.
