Daily postpartum headache for weeks 😔😔

Mamas ❤️❤️❤️ I am 6 weeks PP and really struggling with daily headaches and some migraines. I am drinking 3-4 litres of water, having electrolytes, I am taking high dose magnesium glycinate, B2, iron (beef spleen tablets) and B12 (was deficient in both iron and B12 during pregnancy), BP is sometimes elevated but not to the preclamsia threshold (I think it’s more anxiety and stress related), eating regularly, am BF and had unmedicated birth with 3 degree tear (had a few course of antibiotics). I am feeling really depressed and defeated. Just want some positive stories of things getting better?? GP believes it’s a combination of hormones, muscle tension and sleep deprivation. I do have a lot of tension in my neck and also have TMJ dysfunction which probably contributes too.
