Some people do experience headaches, possibly due to dehdration I assume and various other reasons.

[The Greater Fool 2,054]

Anesthesia, pain meds, just about anything related to surgery can cause headaches.

Stress of surgery, stress of post surgery, stress of any sort can cause headaches.

Just straight not eating enough can cause headaches.

Constipation, dehydration, over hydration, yep.

Replying to a post about headaches.

Good luck,

Tek

Sure, it's possible. Your body's just been through major trauma and had anesthesia and you're probably not drinking enough, so yeah.

In my case I always get a headache after vomiting. I put it down to dehydration

Yes, I had headache and nausea for several days after surgery. You should be feeling better soon.

Same here! Major headache and nausea after surgery. I assumed the headache came from lack of caffeine in my body. It will go away eventually, give it a few more days. Good Luck! ♥

Lack of calories, lack of sugar, those were my triggers, but your body gets used to it and the headaches go away.

I had a bad nonstop headache for first few days. Finally realized it was probably caffeine withdrawal. My surgery was moved up due to a last minute schedule opening and I didn’t get to diet prep like I should have.
