    Hi Kerrie and welcome
    Headaches can be very debilitating. Do you have them in a specific part of your head ? is it a general pain or specific to front, back or either side ?
    I used to have constant headaches but not always in the same place. sometimes right behind my eyes. This went on for years, never did find out why but now on strong pain meds for other things not so bad still get them daily but paracetamol usually works. It is something you do need to get checked out if you can get to your GP
    Be all you can be, make  every day count. Namaste

    Are you due to have a check up in regards to your shunt? As mentioned above, I would speak to your GP about it.
