I don't see what his problem is, if you are getting regular
blood pressure tests, and all is a ok, then its time to change
your doctor.

ASK HIM WHAT HIS PLAN IS.

He may being doing a trial to see wha you reaction is to this dosage with the idea of increasing the dose.

Is he a doc with experience with headache disorders? ASK. If he has no special training and/or experience, it's probably time to find a headache specialist.
