I recently had a Lumbar puncture and I don t want the blood patch. I am experiencing symptomslike headache, loss of appetite, and insomnia. My doctor says that it s tension and I want to know if anyone else has experienced the same thing ana how did they deal with it
Hello, Your symptoms seem to be related to tension type headache, which is a benign type of headache related to psychological stress. Is the headache triggered by standing up or sitting position? Is the headache like pressure or throbbing? How long does it last? How frequent are your headaches? I would first recommend taking melatonin before sleep to help regulate your sleep, which I think will certainly help improve your headaches. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
