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!

For me short term was shivering ( I think it’s cz op theatre was Super cold n i had IV too ) n vomiting , though I wasn’t able to vomit out anything. I was given enema to clear my tummy. Long term- lower back pain if I stand for long n also if I sit down n get up after a while.
