Resorted to a Livi appointment yesterday afternoon because I was getting worried about the ongoing pounding migraine which had changed sides. Doc went through a huge list of questions but was totally honest about the fact that he was covering new ground and they don’t yet have the answers. Did some physical which included bending down touching my toes and holding, to see what the change in headache was, then mimicking blowing up a balloon. Both of these intended to increase the pressure in the head to highlight a potential clot. No warning signs of anything serious.
Summary was that I’ve had a fairly strong post-viral reaction to the vaccine, but traditionally that’s been considered a good thing because it means my immune system has recognised it and done something.
Key things related clots to watch out for are:
-fitting
-sudden blurred vision, halo or extreme sensitivity to light
-sudden very painful headache which feels like an impact
-breathlessness or chest pain
I recommend doing a Livi video appointment if you’re in any doubt. It’s a bit of reassurance talking to a professional, you can see someone within a couple of hours and they won’t hesitate sending you in for a scan if they think anything is wrong.
