Monster headache 13 days post op??

I've been waking up with a headache each morning. Not a normal headache either, more like one of those "I didnt have any coffee today" migraines. I just checked my blood sugar before my coffee to see if it was too low but it was 103 which is normal for me.  No allergy problems right now...nothing is swollen or sore anywhere to indicate a blood clot.  I'm wondering if maybe it could be dehydration? It's rather cold so subconsciously maybe I havent been thinking to drink much?

 

Have any of you experienced this monster headache?

My guess is from Anesthesia.
I get nausea from anesthesia but if I tell anesthetist beforehand I am given a medicine to prevent it. One friend of mine suffered headaches.
I know from epidural I got backache for six months;a friend had stiff neck for two weeks after her epidural with birth of her twins years ago.
Hope the headaches disappear soon and forever.

I have been waking with headaches as well. I wonder if it is sleeping in the chair in the same position all the time? Also to try to aid in healing the first few days I wore my husbands oxygen (he isn't full dependent) and that dried my sinus. I also think it can be that we move wired now compared to before...hunched over...I think we had similar surgeries.

Yeah I think thats partially the problem too. PRotein helped the issue this morning. 

I'm normally a side-sleeper but obviously cant do that if I have drains on the side and front of my hips. I absolutely cannot wait to sleep on my side. I can sort of turn but have to caccoon in pillows :(

Are you getting enough water in during the day or night?  Maybe eating a protein bar before bed will help. 

Headache is gone! There were 3 factors going on:

1. hadnt been supporting my head when sleeping (been having to sleep partially sitting up)

2. Not enough protein - Mother in Law bought me some high protien, ready to drink juice box-type shakes which relieved the headache within 30 minutes...

3. Not enough WATER. I was drinking mostly coffee and milk..not even any juice or caffeine free tea....dumb dumb!

 

All is better now :)
