A member asked:
Side-effects of blood patch? i've been shaky (as if lots of coffee), nauseous and foggy-headed for a few weeks since the blood patch. is it possible this is a continued csf leak or side effect of ebp?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely due to EBP: While it could be due to an ongoing CSF leak you really should follow-up with your PCM for a thorough evaluation.
