I’ve had many headaches since my stroke. Pretty much every day for almost 12 months. Mine have been put down to my stroke rather than meds but the meds could be affecting you. If it is meds it should settle. Not sure where your stroke affeced but if it affected your vision it could be that?
Glad you’re finding the forum helpful.
Best wishes
Ann

Hi @Joanne21 my stroke affected my left side,in the early weeks after my stroke I got pain at the side of the left eye, it settled itself after a while now I’m over a year post stroke the pain only ever comes back if I’m getting myself stressed. Hopefully yours will also settle but it’s worth mentioning to your stroke nurse.

Shwmae Doug, I have experienced a sharp, shooting pain across the side of my left eye, and know of others who have experienced this. Is this what you mean by a headache? Are you doing anything in particular when it occurs?
