Headaches Anyone?

[Jane???? 63]

Hi everyone. So I'm 4 days post op and I've been very sleepy which wouldn't be a problem but now I've been having headaches. I'm curious to know has anyone else been experiencing the same?

Are you drinking enough fluids? It could be dehydration. Try something with electrolytes or broth.

I do eat broth but I'll try the electrolytes

@Jane....nice name

besides possible dehydration^, are you possibly cutting out caffeine or sugar? what about BP? I had a dramatic drop in my BP after about a 20-25# loss.

I cut out any obvious sugars and caffeine months ago my BP when I was in the hospital was 130/76. Always along those lines. Now I'm starting to have blurry vision when I'm moving around the house and headaches. Although watered down G2 seems to help with the headaches. I'm a little worried, no one ever talked about this stuff

Are you still on narcotic pain meds? They tend to give me a headache. Do makes sure you are consuming plenty of liquids and at day 3 I get to start adding Protein Shakes back in. Lack of Protein might be the reason as well. Talk to your doctor.

Can you call your surgeon to see what they recommend? You need to be sure and take care of yourself. Let us know how you're doing.

How much Water are you getting in? I got dehydrated last week pretty bad and had a headache for days. Took a lot of fluids to get back to normal. And I also feel very fatigued when I can't get my fluids in.

Called my doc. I've started drinking more Water at least 40oz and I'm getting in my Protein about 65oz and the headaches are gone
