blood patch
Hello everyone Im new to this forum and wanted to get some advice about a bloodpatch.I havebeen having severe headaches and ringing in the ears and when I walk I feel like Im going to be dizzy.My question is does anyone have any advice or experiences about blood patches before the procedure.My procedure is May 22 not soon enough.
Blood patches are done if you get a lumbar headache after a lumbar puncture. The headache is caused from a leak caused by the lumbar puncture.A blood patch will not help general headaches or migraines.
