Hi Cindy, welcome to Connect. I can imagine that you are feeling anxious about the continuing sensations you're experience after having been in ICU on a ventilator. I'm tagging @kariulrich @jslate @usmccam @amandacgrow @plexiclone @seanne and @melthomas on this discussion as they may have experiences to share with you.

One thing I do know is that you're not alone. Post ICU syndrome is real. You can read more about it in this blog by @andreab https://connect.mayoclinic.org/page/pics/

Cindy, be kind to yourself. You've been through a lot and it will take time to adjust. Are you perhaps trying to do too much, too soon? What brings on the headaches and what do you do to help alleviate them?
