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:

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
