Guest guest Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Can ICP changes cause immediate, extreme headaches? Tasha had a mild headache from Sunday evening into Monday afternoon; she originally thought that this was due to the stress of having a craft fair over the weekend and thought she could sleep it off. It was mild enough that she did not feel the need to take any medication for it. However, yesterday afternoon when she bent over she said it felt as if the top of her head was going to fall off (like what happens if someone with a sinus infection bends over); thereafter, as long as she held still is was less intense but immediately increased with any movement. I took her to the doctor, but she had a clean exam (no sinus or ear problems). They gave her injections of Imitrex and Torodol as it had been suggested she try over Vicodin; they did resolve the headache. I am just trying to figure out what might have been going on. (For a review, Tasha is approx 9mo post PFD, but still has what was noted to be chronically dimished flow (per CINE follow-up at 3mo)). Thanks for any input. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
