SEVERE headaches...
I have WLS back in February. So far Ive lost 85 or 90 pounds.
Since my surgery I have been having SEVERE headaches. I dont know if it is even related to my surgery but the severity and frequency of my headaches has increased greatly in the past 6 months.
These headaches are so bad all I can do is lay down and try to sleep it off. I dont know if it is caused by my blood pressure or it causes a spike in my blood pressure but my blood pressure is usually pretty high when it happens. Its bad enough to make a grown man cry.
I think these headaches are triggered by stress. It usually happens when something bad happens. Today I got bit by my dog and within 10 minutes Im in agony.
Does anyone have a similar experience? What did you do?
BTW I have an appointment next week with my PCP to discuss this.
Reminds me of a type of migrain I used to get. ... It seems that the extreme pain can cause elevated blood presure ... not sure if the blood pressure is the chicken or the egg.
I hope you are able to get help ... I'm glad you're going to see your pcp.
