Side effects of LP?
by aiMelissa, Jul 02, 2008 01:40AM
I had a lumbar puncture Monday mornign. I was told to watch for a bad headache and I have a mild headache but it is not that bad yet. I am really dizzy and kind of weak though. I am not sure if I need to call my doctor about this or if it is normal. It's been 37 hours since the procedure. Is this how I'm supposed to be feeling?

Nausea,headache,dizziness are common after a lumbar puncture and will subside on its own unless very severe.You need not worry and take rest for a couple of days.Just relax.
