I had my last surgery almost 2 years ago and yes I got the awful headaches. I drank coffee on and off so not to get a caffeine headache. Even with drinking coffee, I had to deal with the migraines. I found myself using ice on my head as well. That seemed to help better. Recently I discovered by drinking black tea, a cup daily, diminished my headaches. No more coffee for me. Finally, I got the relief I needed from the migraines. Hope this helps.

Hi, @avmcbellar - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Good to hear you got some relief from the awful headaches following your AMV surgery.

Did you experience any other side effects of your surgery, @avmcbellar?

@levity - it sounds like you've been through a lot of therapy in your recovery following your AVM rupture and emergency surgery. How are things going with the head rushes and headaches?
