Phatty 0 Posted January 24, 2007 I am finding that when something wont go down right and gets a little stuck I get a very sharp pain in my head it isnt like a headache it's just a horrible sharp pain does anyone else get this :huggie: :rose: And if so why does it happen?

LapBandit 5 Posted January 24, 2007 I don't have this problem but I've talked with others and have heard all kinds of symptoms from stuck food. My things are usually runny nose, hiccups and bad chest pain! My guess is if you are sure that it ONLY happens when you have something stuck then it's probably just another bandster thing that happens to us! However, bad headaches should be taken seriously especially if it happens at other times. I'd still mention it to someone to be sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vintagehound 1 Posted January 24, 2007 Yes yes yes I get the same pain in my head and I am so glad I am not alone. I get it by my temple on one side. Yesterday I had to puke for the first time since banding cause I was stuck and the pain in my head was great. It never went away even though I got the stuck food out and it turned into a whopper of a Migraine. First time I had to bring food back up though. Usually the headache goes away when the hurting food goes down...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phatty 0 Posted January 24, 2007 Lapbandit, That was my thoughts exactly but while I was browsing the forum I didn't see anyone mention about the sharp pain in the head so I was starting to think I was weird or it was my imagination. It only happens when something doesn't go down right.. Vintagehound, Thank you so much for posting it's good to know I am not the only one.. The way you explained it is EXACTLY the way it happens for me. I to get it near my temple it feels like a constant brain freeze a nasty pain. Atleast now I know it's normal I will still ask my surgeon why it happens just to gain some insight on it.. Thanks for posting guys I appreciate it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JulieNYC 4 Posted January 24, 2007 Yes, I get the same thing. It's a sharp pain in my left temple. For me, it's a sign that I ate too much more than I got stuck. I started measuring my quantities and making sure to eat less than a cup at a time (could vary for you, of course) and that completely alleviated the problem. Good luck!
