I'm pretty sure I've always had lower than normal blood pressue but I think it's normal for me. During pregnancy it was still low but never dropped or got higher.
Now that I'm no longer pregnant, I've noticed some very strange symptoms.
I get a headspin when I stand up and weirdly enough, when I'm sitting down and I stretch? After the dizzyness subsides, my head starts pounding. Kind of like a really intense headache and it lasts for about 30 seconds to a minute.
I drink plenty of water and eat a healthy balanced diet, so I don't think the issue is there. I am still bleeding, so could it be an iron deficiency? Has anyone else experienced these symptoms before? I have my 6 week pp check up on Thursday, so I'll inquire then but I just want to see if anyone else has this to know if I should go further if the doctor shrugs it off.
P.S. I have an ABI from the beginning of 2013 due to being in an abusive relationship. The doctors were worried my brain had begun bleeding since I was unconcious for almost an hour and my nose and ears were leaking. Scans showed no bleeding of the brain but the doctors told me I had minor swelling. I was sent home for bed rest and told to come back if I experienced any of the symptoms of bleeding to the brain. I never did, so there were no dither follow ups. Could this have something to do with what I'm experiencing, or am I just being paranoid?
TIA
