    Hello there!

    I 'm sorry about your Sciatica problems m but the headache isn't symptomatical of Sciatica. 

    It sounds to me as though you might have had a mild VCA, you should go to a Doctor and have a check-up! I wouldn't ignore and new symptoms, they need to be checked out to be sure nothing gets worse.

    Hope you get better soon, all the best .

      It's a Vascular Cerebral Accident, in other words , a stroke.

      But headaches are nothing to do with Sciatica. It could be that you're taking some kind of medication which doesn't agree with you.
