The process can be done with Iso and it makes a distinctive oil. Many different solvents can be used, and each will bring in different components of the plant, some bringing more or less waxes, cellulose, chlorophyll, etc. For instance, Butane will bring a unique blend of waxes and other things to make a very distinctive amber oil, known affectionately as Honey Oil.

Possibly you are having a reaction to the abundance of material that is brought into the resulting oil using Isopropyl. I would suggest using a bit finer of a solvent, such as Naphtha to get a much more refined oil with much less inert plant content. Always use proper precautions when working with these materials, and make sure that you continue heating them until all evaporation ends to make sure that all the solvent has been released. I really doubt this is the cause of your headache. Possibly you tensed up out of nervousness, not knowing what the effect of RSO might be? It is anyone's guess, but rest assured... there has never been even one case of anyone dying due to cannabis use... ever. Relax, and let it heal you.
