Tasigna side effects

My husband has started taking Tasigna.  We know flushing is a side effect, but he talks about feeling his pulse in his ears and eyes.  His shoulder joints ache, and his eyes are very puffy tonight and look like someone who has cried for a long time, which he hasn't.  The whites of his eyes are not as white as usual.  We've read the possible side effects and some of these are, but do they lessen over time?  He even talks about his hair hurting his head and even though he shaves, he says the hair on his face even feels like it's sticking him.  He is presently under an oncologist/cardiac team's care because he is a diabetic with a past history of heart issues.  Are these symptoms common?
