headache after AZ jab

Has anyone experienced a constant headache after having their AZ jab?
I had my 2nd jab a week ago and have been having constant headaches since.
No other symptoms just the headaches, they are driving me insane.
My doctors are useless atm plus its nearly impossible to get through to them on the phone.

Yes, for several weeks after my first one. Then they went away, had my second and (touch wood) been fine so far.

Please get checked out just in case. Headache symptoms (presuming more than mild headache) after AZ will not be ignored by your GP.

Yes. 6 hours after my first AZ jab and still got it a bit (but much better than it was) 11 weeks later. For the first 8 weeks it was constant.

My second jab is due this weekend so I guess it will increase again.

I have had blood tests and referred to Neurology but my GP could not offer any other advice.

I hope yours clears soon.

@BroccoliRob that is encouraging that it did not get worse with your second vaccine. How long did it last after your first vaccine.

5-6 weeks but it was a mild niggling one so didn't go to docs.

@BroccoliRob thanks Smile

I've had very mild headaches since the first jab, only noticeable because I never get headaches normally. Just had second jab so will look out for them.

On the vaccine notes they say you should contact your GP if you get regular bad headaches afterwards.

If your headache is constant, lasts more than 3 days and isn't helped with paracetamol please ring 111 or you GP asap

Thank you to all for the replies, currently trying to get through to the doctors now.

Agree with this advice - GP should take it very seriously

I had my 2nd jab 20th April and started getting headaches which eventually became one continuous headache. I had nausea as well. It finally subsided after about 6 weeks.
Had none after first jab so I didn't think it was connected
