A doctor has provided 1 answer

Spinal Headaches: I would wonder if you are having headaches from your epidural. You may need what is called a blood cell patch to stop the leakage of spinal fluid at the site of the epidural. It usually leaks into the tissue but the lack of proper CSF pressure may cause the ha. Talk to you OB right away.
