Epidural side effects

Hello, can I just check mummies that took epidural, what are the possible short and long term side effects? Was told by the anesthetist there would be symptoms like tremors, vomiting. But just wondering any other possible long term effects that anyone experienced. TIA!

I experience vomiting. Vomited immediately after I gave birth hence I did not get the chance to do skin to skin with baby. 😔The nurses warned me beforehand though.. That I shouldn't eat too much but I just eat. About the long term side effects, people say epidural causes backache but I think it is an old wives tale. My mother never take epidural also complain about backache. I think the backache is due to the bad posture when handling baby and did not get enough rest during confinement etc.
