Headache after Hemodialysis

[Guest guest]

Anyone ever experience a headache or any other symptoms for a few

hours after having hemodialysis? I get a feeling like I am 'hungover'

for a few hours. I don't drink alcohol at all. The charge nurse told

me that there is some sort of syndrome associated with new dialysis

patients that causes this to happen.

Yes, I experienced headaches when I first started dialysis. However, after

a number of treatments, I no longer had headaches. Hang in there.

Hi ,

I don't have experience with dialysis so I'm reluctant to weigh on on this

one. However, I remember other members of the group describing something

almost identical to what you did (hangover & headache). If I'm remembering

correctly, it seemed to ease up after a few weeks. I'm hoping Pierre or

someone else can help out here.

I think may have had this problem too. She didn't do so well on dialysis

her first few times. Maybe she can shed some light on this.

P.S. , how are you doing now? Better, I hope!!!

There are some patients who get headaches after, and some during dialysis. I

don't, myself. For most, it wears off after having been on dialysis for a

while.

Some folks are very tired after dialysis, others like me are more keyed up.

It varies.

I'm not on dialysis yet so I can't answer your question...I can

however copy a past post from Pierre that might help you...at least until

some of our other dialysis people speak up.

From a 4/28/04 post by Pierre:

" I'm not an expert on dialysis, as I said, just a patient...

You really shouldn't be getting things like headaches or cramps all the

time. Occasionally, sure, but not all the time. If you do, there is either

something about your dialysis prescription that isn't optimal for you, or

there's something wrong with your diet. Sometimes, it seems to take a bit of

constant complaining to get the nephrologist to look at changing something.

It shouldn't be that way, but that's how it is sometimes. "

I hope that helps a bit until others can chime in on this. From memory

about posts on dialysis it seems like it takes a few months to get things

tweaked for each patient and during that time you can have all sorts of

problems from too low b/p to headaches to total body aches. If I remember

properly it also takes a lot of speaking out on your part to get things

changed around until they find the optimal dialysis Rx for you.

How is your fistula doing now? Have they been able to use it and hit it

properly? Or are you still on the jugular catheter?

I haven't personally experienced the headaches after dialysis. My girlfriend

who is on home hemo presently experiences it all the time. After dialysis she

is technically a write off. She just has to lay on the couch and take extra

strength pain meds when necessary. This last a few hours...so she makes sure

she does what she has to do prior to treatment. Just so you know she's been

dealing with the headaches and dialysis for over 5 yrs now. I hope this changes

for you... (

Hi Ray,

What an honor to marry your grandson! I hope you have a very blessed day and

that their marriage will be a cord of three strands with the Lord as the

middle piece.
