Possibly: Headache is the most common adverse effect of QVAR (beclomethasone inhaled). It occurs in over 10% of patients, especially after initial use. I suggest you talk to the doctor who prescribed it, let him know of your symptoms, and maybe ask for an alternative management for your asthma, if the headache is intolerable.
