Can a spinal headache cause long term problems? didn't get blood patch but went away on its own by laying down flat for a week after csection.

Probably not: The quick answer is no, a post-spinal headache does not cause long term problems or consequences.

no: The spinal fluid leak from the puncture of the dura matter has healed. You should have no long term problems.
