Blinding headache after 1st AZ, concerns for 2nd?

[BigBWatching]

Due my 2nd dose next week. After my first dose I had the worst headache of my life, extreme pain and pressure like my head would explode, I couldn’t move from the sofa for 24 hours and could barely open my eyes due to the pain, painkillers wouldn’t touch it, even codeine. This was before the ‘risks’ were known, but I was scared.
Now the risks are known and headaches are listed, if it happens again I’m worried I won’t know if it’s something to worry about? Anyone had similar?

If you got a headache again, and if you go see a dr, I think they should be able to test if you are suffering from rare blood clot, since it's not normal blood clot, it's to do with low blood platelets.
But if you are worried, you should speak to someone.

I had very bad headache and also the chills and felt really rotten. I am prone to migraines (severe) so I had some really strong stuff in. I managed but, like you, super wary about second. Had it a few days ago and been fine since. However, I would speak to someone if you are super worried.

I had a blinding headache after the first AZ jab that I just couldn't shift. I only had a mild headache and a bit of a fever after the second jab, and it didn't hang around for long at all. I think it's a really persistent headache that you might need to worry about. I'm sure you'll be fine.

I felt so ill after the first a cross between a hangover and flu for the second vaccine I felt a little woozy and my arm hurt.

I had a headache for two weeks after the first, along with being in bed for 3 days - chills, fatigue, nausea etc. After the second, I had a slight headache and fatigue for a day.
