A member asked:
Have a pressure feeling type of headache hasn't gone away and only feels better if i lie down flat could this be a shunt-related problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Postural headaches: Headaches that change with position indicate potentially that the shunt may need an adjustment or that there is a change in the tumor. See the neurosurgeon with new imaging studies to determine the cause of the headaches.
