Spinal headache after epidural?

Question

Has anyone experienced this? I gave birth a week ago today, and yesterday (Thursday) I developed a headache on the right front side of my head and in my eye. 
I thought it was because while I was pregnant, I went to the eye dr and got new glasses which were showing I needed stronger prescription. My eye dr let me know that sometimes pregnancy can mess with your eye sight and it might change when I give birth. But my one friend is wondering if it’s from my epidural.
Should I be worried?

Answer

I had a horrible spinal headache that required a blood patch to be done to fix it, the first attempt failed but the second took. My reaction was hours after the epidural so I’m not sure about yours! But they did try s bunch of pain killers and caffeine to help before taking the next step. I’ve read a lot of success with using caffeine. Good luck!

Answer

If the headache lasts and lasts and doesn’t go away with pain meds, sleep, water, food, then it’s a possibility. But I had the epidural and had headaches for 4 weeks and once I got more sleep, food, and water it made the biggest difference!!

Answer

Could be from the epidural, try a pain killer, rest and eat well.

Answer

I experienced the same thing but went away within a month. It happens when I stand up or get up the bed so fast
