Constant headaches / some dizziness

Just wondering if anyone has any advice really! I have a midwife app on Tuesday so I will of course speak to her then too.

I am currently 14 +2 with my second baby.

I had sickness at the beginning but that went a good few weeks ago. But since that went it has been replaced by constant headaches!

Every. Single. Day. Normally by 11 I can feel one coming on, and by 1pm I usually need to go to bed and sleep it off. (Thankfully my job is flexible and DS is at childcare)

I have tried
Paracetamol (but don't want to take this all the time, especially if it's not working)
Drinking more (already drinking lots)
I am eating well and not sh*t food most of the time
I'm sleeping (I'm still very tired)
Drinking less caffeine

Nothing seems to work.

As well as that I do get dizzy spells, normally if I move / stand up and I try not to do this quickly.

Any ideas? Could it be iron deficiency? Or something else?

I figured I'm way too early for it to be pre-eclampsia but I'll get my BP checked on Tuesday and request bloods if I need to

TIA
