Vns And Headaches

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­
Guntersville, AL

Every time I get a headache and my vns goes off it makes it stronger. Is this normal? I know headaches are a side effect, but I don't have them everyday. When I do get headaches the vns makes them stronger.

I'm not sure about that kind, I have heard if you see stars before you that that is a sign of seizures coming on but that is never happened to me before I have never had a warning when I would have one
