Head Pain after vomitting



Recommended Posts

I know, I know, I will ask my docctor about this, but I wanted to know if anyone has had a similar experience.

I am 1 year post op, at a comfortable level of fill, but occassionally get things stuck. Last night I was eating a boiled potato, and it must have been a potatoe skin that got stuck BIG TIME. I drooled and spit and then became very nauseous. I gagged a few things and then one time voilently and the skin dislogedge, but I had such a bad pain in the back of my head that I had to lay in the floor. It lasted about 15 mins before it calmed down. It was a horrible, tight pain. I was oriented, functional, etc the entire time, so I don't worry that I was having a stroke. My BP was 144/88 and pulse was 65.

To me, it seemed like the violent vomitting trigged some type of muscle spasm in the back of my head,.

Has anyone every had this happen to them?

Thanks.

I was thinking blood pressure too. I know that after I PB, my blood pressure seems to rise from the strain (I was eating potato too),and I can feel it. You are doing the right thing contacting your doctor about it.

Hi there! I was vomiting in the hospital and complained about horible pain in my head the entire time. I actually had to stay an extra day and a half because of the vomiting and the headache. Now when I got nausous or wretch I get the same pain. It's very bad so I totally understand. I guess it's something some of us get. Hopefully, it will get better with time. I was banded recently by the way (Jan. 6th). THanks!

I do know that for some reason, the blood rushes to your head when you throw up. Pre-bandster days, I had the flu and ended up with "black eyes" from vomiting. My doc said I had broken the blood vessels around my eyes from vomiting too violently. :thumbdown:

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
