PPH after birth, dizziness/headaches 8 months postpartum

Hi,
I had a PPH after giving birth to my second child but it wasn't enough to need a transfusion. Now 8 months postpartum I've just had my second period (stopped breastfeeding at 6 months) and have started to get sustained periods of dizziness (lasting a week last time and a couple of days so far this time). Has anyone else experienced this? I guess I'm looking for reassurance as it seems like I've been ill pretty much constantly since my second was born which didn't happen at all with my first.

I had this and still get episodes fairly regularly. Tbh my GP wasn’t interested in the slightest when antihistamines only made it worse so I’d be interested to see what responses you get.

Do you know what your iron levels are now? It might be worth getting them checked.

Yeah I've had my bloods done and they were normal. I guess I'll have to go back to the doctor in the end as even if it's not unusual it's making life pretty difficult especially with two children under 3.

Did this resolve for you @KJDB1276 I'm 13 weeks postpartum and experiencing the same thing. Bloods also normal
