Fuzzy head 3 days after spinal?

Hey, I gave birth to my DD1 on Tuesday. Had a spinal block that afternoon due to needing stitches. Today I've woken up with a dizzy, fuzzy head. Slight head ache and just generally feel like my eyes aren't focusing.

Google mentions something about a epidural headache but wanted to see if anyone else had experienced this? Do I need to see a dr?

Thanks

I had a spinal and was fine but got dizzy and light headed due to blood loss and needing a blood transfusion. Maybe would be best to get checked?

I had a spinal headache after my epidural- it was the worst headache which got worse sitting or standing up. I also couldn’t stand bright lights.

Give the hospital a call if you are worried- they are always happy to see you after giving birth and congratulations!

I had a spinal headache. Stabbing pain even upright, initially not too bad but if I got out of bed and moved around I’d start vomiting with it. Normal pain killerd or codeine wouldn’t touch it.

So it doesn’t sound quite like that but maybe something else, but you should call if worried.

I think a spinal headache is so bloody awful you’d know if it was one of those. More likely blood loss and/or exhaustion. Do see midwife or gp though.
