Has anyone experienced frequent headaches a couple years after their stroke?

I had a stroke almost 2 years ago and several TIAS. I am now experiencing several severe headaches. Has anyone else experienced this?

So, when do you think you'll see your doctor?  Let me know how this goes!

So, strokes can cause neurological changes as a major neurological event (to say the least).  Lots of things can result from that but I've read that headaches are less common.  However, the medications you may take after a stroke can cause headaches, often temporarily.  Did you start a new medication?
With your history, however, I would absolutely get checked out by a doctor!  Do you see a neurologist or are you followed by a general practitioner or both?

Yes I see both every 3 months. I see neurologist this week and I will talk to him about it for sure.
