Brief Answer: Not related Detailed Answer: Hello Thanks for the query What you are suffering from looks like migraine, it is not related to the carpel tunnel surgery but could be related to some post operative medications they might have put you on. So in order to help you better could you please get back to me with the following 1. When was the carpel tunnel surgery done? What are the medication you are currently on? 2.

Please get back to me, I am awaiting your reply Regards
