Not sure if yours is related but I had a similar experience along with
continued headaches weeks after I was discharged from the hospital.

It turned out that the spinal tap process which was done left a leak
behind. I went through the blood patch procedure which provided relief
immediately. Although, its now been almost a year but some part of me
still feels that I am not 100%.
