Hi,
Epidural headaches do return sometimes after a blood patch and you may need a second patch. More than two patches are rarely needed. Please lie in bed for at least 4 hrs and avoid lifting any heavy objects for atleast 2 days after a blood patch. Please consult a neurologist for a complete examination and discuss the treatment. Hope this helps you. Take care and regards!
