Headaches 4 weeks after Astra Zenena Vaccine

I had my vaccine on 11th April then was off work the day after as felt terrible. Went to work the next day and was fine that week. A week after I started getting a headache on my temples on one side and behind my eyes. This later sort of moved to the top of my head, almost like a pressure or someone touching the top of my head. I had my eyes tested last week and back of eyes all ok although I need a new prescription. I sit in front of a monitor for 8 hours a day and was getting tired eyes. I did think this was the cause of the headaches but the tension still seems to be there. It isn't a throbbing pulsating headache more a pressure which seems to be worse on one side but I have on both sides.

I had 4 days in the last 4 weeks when I haven't had this headache (2 days last weekend so thought it was over) but it was back on Sunday and Monday when I was off work. I phoned GP who sent me for blood tests today as I said had had the AZ vaccine and headache was constant. This is making me miserable and highly anxious and I feel exhaused

Anyone else had this ?

Headaches during pregnancy are pretty common, I got one in my first trimester loads, I found drinking lots and paracetamol really helped, they eased off on my second trimester fortunately, hope you're feeling better soon x

I get headaches for long periods during pregnancy. It’s normally hormonal. Does it pass with paracetamol? Good you’re checking it out.
