A member asked:
I have a headache that happens when i bend over, am sitting at a certain angle or if i'm trying to have a bowel movement. i had a pre-eclamptic pregnancy 6 months ago and i am terrified it is a clot or aneurysm.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pre-eclampsia: A possible aneurysm can of course cause a headache when straining with a bowel movement, but it has nothing to do with having had a pre-eclamptic pregnancy. A blood clot in a cerebral vessel will not generally cause a headache, and is also not related causally to your pre-eclamptic pregnancy. You need to see a neurologist and get an MRI to find the cause of this type of headache.
