Hello,

* As per my surgical experience, the bad headache is suggesting of alterations in the incra cranial pressure.
* The same must be addressed to the treating neurologist without delay for the best care.
* Constipation can be relieved with glycerine suppositories till that time.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
