Migraines or Headaches prior to an Aortic Dissection?

Posted , 2 users are following.

Just curious, how many folks suffered from migraines before thier Aortic Dissection operation?   After my surgery, one of the operating surgeons had mentiioned about knowing that I suffered from headaches/migraines without me even mentioning that to him. FYI, my blood pressure usually ran low until the Dissection.

    Hi Rg, I was very interested in your message about head aches after your AAA operation, I had a Fenstrated Endovascular for an Aorta Aneurism just 5 weeks ago and ever since I'm experiencing an intense pain across my brow when ever I bend over, or  sneeze or cough which is the worst of them all, other wise it's okay, I have read that the cause could be Sinusisis , other reports suggests stress and tension, which I have had and still have at times, the operation was over 7 hours long and quite invasive to the body, even after 5 weeks I can't walk more than 10 minutes without intense pain in my hips and back, how are you coping,  James

      Opposite for me, I have not had any headaches since before my operation in february, I can now bike for 10 miles and have not been experiencing any uncomfortable pains other than the typical chest recovery or back pains here & there.

      Hang in there James, I would highly recommend that you only exercise when you feel good, your body will gradually get stronger as time goes by & after the first few months you will have more good days than bad, so try & take it easy partner.
