I had fractured a number of vertebrae and ribs in the seizure and I can't really remember how I felt post the blood patch because of the pain I was in, so I can't help much other than to say what you are experiencing doesn't sound right. I would get in contact with your doctor so that it can be checked out thoroughly.
Wow, sounds like you went through a pretty awful time. I can't really find much information online about what to expect AFTER a Blood Patch except that you rest for a few days and that you may have a sore back. I think I'll call my doctor on Monday.
