Orthostatic Headache

Orthostatic Headache

I have had a right sided headache with neck stiffness for 3 weeks. I am 51 years old with 20 years of high BP. My BP has been running high 145/101 yesterday with medications. I was admitted to the hospital and had a CT with angiogram, MRI, MRA, and numerous blood tests which were all normal. This headache is a pain level of 10 when I get out of bed and a pain level of 1 or 0 when laying in bed. My neurologist did a lumbar puncture yesterday for low CSF pressure. It was 78 and I was told normal.  Could this headache still be from my CSF pressure? Should my back be hurting so much after a lumbar puncture yesterday?
