Extreme headaches post MC

I am just over a week of MC still bleeding but not much.

I have the worst headache of my life that won't go away with paracetamol/ibuprofen. I can feel the blood pumping and I feel like I am being hit over the head. If I stand up or walk it gets worse. It's been like this for 3 days now.

Has anyone else had any experience of this?

Have you had your blood pressure checked? Might be worth popping into a pharmacy or your gp for a check. They could also recommend something. Hope you feel better soon

Hi beyondheartbreak.

I had a MC 4 weeks ago and after the bleeding stopped, I had a chronic headache. Just like you describe, nothing would stop it. It went away after about a week and I've been fine headache wise since.
So, so sorry for your loss and I really hope you feel better soon. The doctors hadn't said to expect such a headache, but a bit of Googling suggested that it may be to do with crash of hormones. :(
