What could be some reasons that i have migraines everytime i stand up (following a skull fracture)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a doctor soon: It is very possible that your severe headaches on standing (after a skull fracture) are due to a brain fluid leak through your fracture. Such leaks can be dangerous and can lead to meningitis if not properly followed and/or dealt with. Typically, early fractures with brain fluid leaks are dealt with conservatively (meds) but if you have had the fractures for a while, you may need more done.See md.
