There is a good chance the ad will lessen as time goes on. just make sure you have meds to lower your bp if you start getting a pounding headache.

The first few days after the catheter is changed, AD occurs every 10 minutes or so. Transferring in and out of my chair also sets it off. When getting dressed, any contact to the groin area also sets it off. The only thing that gets rid of it is to lay on my side. Blood pressure gets up to 180/120. Local Doctors are clueless. The supposed "good" doctors are 3 hours away, I'm afraid of trying to travel that far.
