Could be yes or no: Headaches are multifactorial. Could be dehydration so drink plenty of fluids. Could be the doxy. Could be many other reasons. Never knew doxy to be a great treatment for most garden-variety utis, however.

Talk with your doc: Nope: this isn't normal. Check your blood pressure and talk with your doc. Hope you're feeling better soon!
