Postpartum headache and eye pain may result from sleep deprivation or tension-type headaches. Additionally, these symptoms could be caused by iron-deficiency anemia, malnutrition, or abnormal blood pressure. During the postpartum confinement period, it is recommended to avoid using mobile phones and watching television, ensure adequate sleep, and refrain from staying up late or overusing the eyes. Regular massage may help alleviate discomfort. If symptoms are severe, consult a healthcare provider for appropriate diagnostic tests and targeted treatment.
