{{AMyLiz}} I don't know what it could be, but I hope it's fixable and quick. Much ~ma.
And what's the fun in becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, am I right?

it's freaking me out that the MDs actually admitted her.
I'm guessing they admitted her because the headache came on so suddenly, out of the blue -- because a headache is such a nonspecific symptom of a gazillion conditions, the MDs need to err on the side of caution.
And hormones could cause a migraine, and a migraine could definitely make her blood pressure spike. The pain of the migraine is a stressor on the body, and that makes blood pressure rise. (And 190/100 is high, yes, but it's not out-of-the-ordinary high, if that makes sense.)

{{{AmyLiz}}} Tons of ~ma to your sister-in-law and hoping it was just a bad headache that doesn't mean anything. Sorry, that I am a bad person who skipped to post without reading what was going on first.

Because books.

Okay. Good. I know that mine is always 110/70 and considered normal, but I don't know much about it other than that.
Also didn't realize a migraine/pain could elevate your blood pressure. Makes sense.
I just...hate stuff like this. Because I can't do anything, and I can't be there, and sudden hospitalizations send me right back to childhood and scary memories of my mom being ill. (She's chronically ill with lupus.)

And now that Cashmere mentioned it, I remembered reading about post-epidural headache.
I did a quick google of "epidural" + "headache" + "delayed" and, just skimming the results, it's not uncommon for a headache to occur this long after an epidural puncture. It's also eminently treatable.
So, fingers crossed.

Well, it's not desirable to have 190/100 for weeks on end, but it's also not going to make her brain explode. If that helps.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I can't believe I was 2/3 of the way through actually working this out and justifying my choices before I realized how utterly fucking insane it was. Now I've lost 93 seconds of my life I'll never get back, and I'm all distressed and disturbed. Stoopid creepy antipodean actuaries.
Ahh, it's a beautiful day in the neighbourhood.

Yeah, that's kind of where my mind was going. I guess I was due for a freak-out. It doesn't help that my mom was all panicked on the phone.
Teppy is very calming. I think I might need Teppy during all my freak-outs.
