Headaches 4 weeks out

[kristikay 60]

I have been having extreme headaches for the past two weeks. Today I woke up with a headache and it has been horrible. I haven't been able to eat or drink all day. It feels like my head is going to explode. I am just wondering if this has anything to do with the surgery. Has anyone else had this issue? I definitely will be calling my doctor tomorrow. I just am worried and scared this was not a problem I was expecting.

Darling those headaches suck! I went through them too and visited my doctor after reading about anything and everything about headaches. What I learned is that a magnesium shortage is commonly shown through headaches, Migraines at that. After WLS they are common and it can take months to build your magnesium back up to proper levels on our diet.

You can take shots, which DH swears by, but I am using a magnesium oil spray daily. I started a couple of weeks ago and my headaches are GONE! I posted about them on MFP because I was having such trouble with them. Testing for a magnesium deficiency is a special test, which I'll have done next trip to the doc, but I swear by the oil. It's a spray I just do in the morning and evening (no residue) that I got at a health food store. It works much faster than supplements because of how it's absorbed. Epson salt baths will do the same thing...but I have a 7 year old and never time for a bath LOL You might give this a try. I'm amazed how fast it cured me

Thanks I will check on these issues with my doctor. I have had cluster headaches when I was younger but haven't had them for about 20 years so I am hoping they have not returned. I also got very bad headaches before I was diagnosed with high blood pressure but once I started my medication they went away. I will check on the magnesium and also know I am not getting enough Water so I will try harder on that.I should of gone to the doctor today but felt to terrible to get dressed and would have had to find someone to drive me because I was in no condition to drive. I feel better now but am afraid to go to bed because the headaches seem to wake me up from a sound sleep.< /p>
