Ice pick headaches left side on vp shunt valve last 5 days w/ left groin pain where nodes are, no big nodes. some pressure behind left eye, thoughts?

Need Examination: Anybody with new onset headaches in the setting of having a VP shunt needs to immediately ask to see their doctor for a shunt check. If it's possible to get in to see either your neurologist or neurosurgeon, so much the better. If the shunt's cleared then, the headaches can be addressed knowing they're not due to shunt problems.

Hi. I have a headache on the left side and it goes down my eye to my gums since yesterday. My blood pressure is 147/103 and yesterday it was 149/104. I last took a water tablet in November 2020 because my pressure was in the normal. What should I do?
