Does intracranial pressure die down after awhile, or do they have to operate?

---

Does intracranial pressure die down after awhile, or do they have to operate?
It does not appear to be getting any worse or better after three weeks. Aged 55. Result of a head injury. England 2007 NHS.
generally they can give some medications but they may need to put in burr holes
it depends on what the pressure is resulting from-
if it is blood within there then they can evacuate it sometimes but other times they cant- sometimes it just has to resolve on its own (much like a bruise)  (+ info)

Can throwing up cause brain hemorrhages?

---

I threw up the other day, and when I did I felt a sudden sharp pain in my head? So can throwing up cause brain hemorrhages? Also, whats a popped blood vessel?
I'm not sure about brain hemorrhages but I do know that vomiting can cause such a strain on the eye that it can cause blood vessels in the eye to burst. It's called "subconjunctival hemorrhages." They occur among the many small and fragile blood vessels in the eye's conjunctiva, the clear membrane that covers the whites of the eyes and lubricates and protects the eyeball. When one of these tiny blood vessels bursts, you will notice a bright red or dark patch on the whites of your eyes. Most of the time, the signs of the hemorrhages clear up without treatment, usually within 10 days. You should see your doctor if you experience pain in connection with a subconjunctival hemorrhage, if you notice any changes in vision, have a history of a bleeding disorder or high blood pressure, or have injured your eye.

I suffer from chronic motion sickness and have spent the greater part of my life vomiting and have thankfully never burst a blood vessel but if you can help it, it's better safe than sorry in the long run. I hope you feel better soon!  (+ info)

I'm thinking this could show up on a path exam. Could his kidney problem have anything to do with the bleeding?

How do you feel after Intracranial pressure measuring?

---

I have to have it done in January, I know the procedure. What I want to know is, how will i feel? Will I feel it in my head, will i be able to take my normal pain meds, on ward or ICU? please help, i'm terrified.
As a rule, the procedure to place the catheter is done with you under a general anesthetic. They can do it using a local anesthetic, but most prefer not to because the sound and sensation of the drill is not really that pleasant for the patient. Either way, you won't feel anything. If you have the general anesthetic, the worst of that is the poke to place the IV. If you have a local, again, the worst part is the prick of the needle used to deaden the skin. Nothing else except your scalp has any feeling, so you don't need high powered pain relief. You will wake up in intensive care, most likely. Most folks aren't in a lot of pain, so they get something like Tylenol. You won't get or need high powered pain relievers, because those can affect the pressure and interfere with their ability to monitor your neurological status. You won't be allowed to take anything else, no. Before you have the procedure done, the surgeon and anesthesiologist should be talking with you and going over the whole procedure with you. If you are an adult, you will have to sign the consent forms, and if you are a minor one of your parents will do the signing. But since you are obviously old enough to have some intelligent input, they will talk to you and explain things as well. That's the time to ask all your questions. If you need to, make a list of them and go over each one to get the answer you need. Nobody should mind at all. As procedures go, it's not that bad really. And considering you must have some kind of problem that is causing you headaches or other problems, and routinely take pain medications, it won't be anything comparible to what pain you already have experienced. It's more scary because they are after all going to mess with the insides of your head. That's enough to make anyone a bit buggy. But fortunately, the brain itself, and the skull don't have any sort of feeling at all- it's all in your scalp. And scalps don't feel a whole lot of pain either, otherwise we'd never be able to stand washing, combing or brushing our hair. If you've had a shot before, that's about what the prick of the needle is like. And before they start the IV, a lot of places will use a bit of lidocaine to numb things- another little stick for that, but afterwards you feel nothing. And once it's all done and the monitor is in place, you shouldn't have much discomfort at all. Oh- be prepared for a small bald spot at the site of the incision. They will have to shave a patch. On girls they generally try to keep that as small as they can, so you can camoflauge it afterwards. But yeah- it's still a bare spot. Otherwise, I wish you luck in the procedure and that they can fix you up afterwards. Try to relax as much as you can, and not dread it too much. Honestly, it sounds a lot worse than it is.  (+ info)
