Not usually: But a post dural puncture headache can cause those symptoms. If they don't improve after the blood patch, notify your anesthesiologist.

No: A blood patch is used to treat post duralumin puncture headache. Clogged ears and lightheaded sound like a middle ear problem. Check with your doctor.
