Call the Doctor: Your best course of action would be to contact the physician or healthcare provider recommending the treatment and explain your symptoms. They would know best what your next move should be.

Not enough info: Usually you don't get steroids for headache. There may be a piece of information you didn't provide. Steroids can certainly help dizziness from a few reasons. In a person of your age, headache + dizziness is often migraine in nature. That said, you are one some unusual medicines for your age, so your really need to talk to your doctor about this question. Good luck.
