What Causes Severe Headaches And Depression After Appendix Removal?

My husband had his appendix removed in August of 2014 and has never been quite the same. He began to have severe headaches and lost a lot of his motivation. He s not depressed (can not be stressed enough) and now those headaches are full blown migraines that are almost daily. Could this all be related?

Usual onset of migraine is precipitated when a person under goes severe stress.here in you husbands case the stressing factor may be appendectomy.Because of the severity of pain they are exhausted and cant stress more.usually diet containing cheese,caffeine will precipitate or aggravate these attacks.so the best way to get out these problems is maintaining healthy balanced diet,avoiding things that are aggravating headache,regular exercise,yoga,meditation,avoiding alcohol.fruits like watermelon and musk melon are very much comforting when body is stressed.
