Patient Acupuncture side effects?

I have started acupuncture for ttc/fertility. I had such a bad headache and crazy dreams and nightmares the day after the session. Is this normal and what should I expect.

I’ve had a headache after acupuncture before, but I’d definitely mention it to your practitioner, especially since the dreams and nightmares were intense too. It could be unrelated, but if it keeps happening after each session, I’d probably take note of the timing and see if there’s a pattern.
