A member asked:
Could night headaches for over a month be from a spinal headache from an epidural 3 years ago?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: A headache due to an epidural would be much faster in onset. Consider other causes such as tension, migraines, sinus, etc. Since you say "night" headaches, also consider sleeping position and - if you have other risk factors - sleep apnea as a cause for the headaches.
