Thanks for your question, there may be a small blood clot that have formed and draw fluid from the tissues around it, which makes the clot slowly get bigger. The increasing size of the clot causes a slow increase in the pressure within the skull and the surrounding brain tissue. Usually the first symptom of the increased pressure is a new, persistent, and increasingly severe headache.
