Can Liver Cancer With Cirrhosis Be Causing Intense Headaches?
I have had cirrhosis for a number of years, and was recently diagnosed with liver cancer. For the past several years I have had routine endoscopies and have had esophageal varices banded. Over the last 3-4 months I've had headaches on a daily basis, and they have been getting more intense every day. Is it possible there is a connection between my liver issues and the headaches? I am 66 years old, 205 pounds and in relatively good physical condition. Thanks.
