Postpartum headaches

Heather

Anyone experience these? I'm a FTM, 2 weeks postpartum. The headache just started earlier this week. Feels like a tension headache (I've had them before) - pain at the base of my neck and across my forehead. Feels like a ton of pressure. Gets worse with movement, like if I'm holding my baby looking down at her and then look up. I was diagnosed with gestational hypertension so I check my BP at home daily and it's in the 120/70s. I even went to the ER 3 days postpartum with high blood pressure and was checked for preeclampsia. No preeclampsia, turned out to just be a panic attack. Tylenol and Advil don't help. Took some Naproxen left over from the hospital and it seems to be helping. Of course I'm not sleeping AT ALL and not eating very well. I did have an epidural and I'm formula feeding. Could it just be hormones? Lack of sleep?
