Chronic Headaches

Tips from survivors: “I learned my triggers — once I manage those, the headaches are easier to handle.”

Ongoing or recurring headaches that persist after a stroke.

Frequent head pain that may feel throbbing, pressure-like, or tension-based, often worsened by fatigue, stress, or screen time.

Changes in brain blood flow, nerve sensitivity, muscle tension, or post-stroke neurological changes.

Reported by many survivors, though severity and frequency vary widely.

Hydration, stress management, limiting triggers (like bright lights or screens), physical therapy for tension, and medication if needed.
