I have received more than one message from clients who have claimed that they have gotten relief for their migraine headache by using my Migraine and Headache Relief program, after no other medication or remedy was able to help.
This, of course, is much appreciated feedback. Along with this response I noticed a pattern of women writing to me telling me they experienced migraine headache after receiving an epidural during childbirth.
This struck me as curious and after much study, most evidence points to there being no connection between migraine headaches and receiving an epidural.
Great, but if there's no link why do so many women suffer from migraines after an epidural? Up to one percent of women report this problem. Many of these same women report having never had migraine headaches before.
It is very rare to encounter migraine headaches as an adult. Most have symptoms during late childhood or early adolescence.
What I did find in my review though is a situation known as a spinal headache. This happens when the protective layer of the brain, called the dura and spinal cord (which contains cerebrospinal fluid, or CSF) is punctured by a tiny needle in performing delivery of spinal anesthesia.
In one percent of cases, this minute hole can allow CSF to drain enough for the brain to sense it as pain. This headache actually has a technical name - post-dural puncture headache, or PDPH.
The symptoms of PDPH can include double vision, sensitivity to light, hearing problems, nausea and pain or stiffness in the neck. Do any of these symptoms seem amazingly similar to another condition?
That's correct! The headache, while not precisely a migraine headache, still seems just like a headache.
This can also occur in one percent of epidural cases. While the incidence shouldn't occur at all - there is no intentional puncture to the dura in epidurals, it can happen accidentally.
While there's no evidence of women with a history of migraines having a higher chance of a spinal headache, it can be especially hard to determine whether or not the headache is a migraine or a spinal headache.
The average time to heal from a spinal headache is two to four days although many women have reported symptoms lasting for months. Again, for those who have a history of migraines, this could be an actual migraine triggered by lack of sleep and stress over a new baby.
Regardless of your reason for migraine headache, I highly recommend my Migraine and Headache Relief program. It's all natural, safe and the results are amazing!
