This late reply might help others if you have experienced the same as what I have.
Clipped: 5 years ago. Left Carotid Artery behind eye. (8mm wide neck aneurysm).
I’ve experienced daily migraines after the surgery. Then I visited a neurologist who signed me up for a trial using a ‘machine’ called GammaCore vagus nerve stimulator instead of popping in pills because I am not in favor of taking pills. (even after the surgery, I only took Tylenol once).
It worked wonders (and free at the time). Soon, a year passed and my insurance won’t cover for the cost but my doctor was able to talk to them to loan me for another year, so I used it for two years. Unfortunately, I couldn’t use it when the 2nd trial expired because my insurance won’t cover for it. However, because I have recovered slowly, my migraines appeared lesser and lesser. Now five years past, I probably will have migraines when the air pressure changes abruptly.
I do not know anyone else is lucky enough to try the ‘free’ version of vagus stimulator machine (not sure if it’s one size fits all for difference pains). But if your doctor believe your headache might be migraines, please ask your doctor about it.
Best,
Amy
