Headaches and dizziness are worth paying attention to when taking Zeposia. While headaches aren't listed among the most commonly reported side effects in clinical studies, dizziness-related symptoms are β€” specifically a drop in blood pressure when standing up (called orthostatic hypotension), which can definitely cause that lightheaded or dizzy feeling.

Some other side effects to be aware of include:

- Upper respiratory infections
- Liver enzyme changes
- High blood pressure
- Back pain
- Urinary tract infections

One MyMSTeam member shared that Zeposia raised their blood pressure so much it felt like their heart was going to jump out of their chest β€” so changes in blood pressure are real and worth monitoring closely. It's always a good idea to let your neurologist or care team know about any new or worsening symptoms, including headaches and dizziness. They may want to check your blood pressure or run some tests to make sure everything is on track.

Don't ignore it β€” your team needs to know! 😊
