What is causing spinning type headaches after pregnancy?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Your frequent headaches along with dizziness or spinning could be due to raised blood pressure or hypertension, migraine, tension or stress, hypoglycemia, etc. Hypertension, migraine, and stress are the most common causes for the headache. Without examination it is very difficult to tell the exact cause. I would suggest you measure your blood pressure, if found raised then you have to take antihypertensive medication after consultation with a doctor. Migraine causes head pain. There are certain trigger factors for migraine like lack of sleep, starving, stress, certain food, and smell. The treatment for migraine headache comprises management of acute attack with painkillers like Naproxen, Aspirin, Paracetamol. Drugs like Propranolol, Topiramate, Flunarizine or Amitriptyline may be taken after prescription from a neurologist. I hope this helps. Thank you and take care. Regards.
