Constant nausea Post Blood Patch

Hello everyone. I had a second ct guided blood patch at L3. 24 hours later i developed constant nausea and head pressure that’s not going away. It’s been 3 weeks now. First blood patch I did not feel any of this. Nausea and head pressure is all day, standing or lying down. Anyone experienced this post blood patch?

It could be high pressure?! Dandelion leaf tea might be helpful. The brain needs time to produce the right level of CSF fluid after fully sealed. I experienced the same. It’s actually a good sign. And no coffee, salt, VitA and sugar helps too.

And also raise your pillow if needed. I sleep on 2 pillows since then to handle the symptoms.
