Spinal tap: People usually complain of headache after spinal tap which is worse when siting and standing and gets better with lying down. These headaches are usually very bothersome and it persisting after a day may need to be evaluated. However dizziness is not usually a complaint in a persistent leak. Please speak to the doctor that performed your procedure. Hope you feel better!
