A member asked:
What would cause a headache that gets better when i sit or lay down, but comes right back with even light walking or going upstairs? the pain is 8/10
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Postural: If headache is worse when you get up than when you lay down it is postural headache. It can be due to dural tear or puncture (complication of a spinal or epidural wet tap). Get evaluated for other possibilities as well.
