What Causes Sudden Throbbing In Head With Dizzy Spells?

I started feeling a painless throbbing sensation in my head. I am also experiencing dizzy spells. I recently had a baby about 5 months ago. I am nearsighted but choose not to wear glasses or contacts even though my sight has over time been causing me to strain while watching television even on a 50 inch screen. I have also recently gone from about 5 to 6 cups of coffee a day to 1 or 2 very suddenly. I am hoping one of the above is the cause for my discomfort and isnt something more serious. please help.

as I can figure here, you have a major complaint of a throbbing headache. You also are suffering from a diagnosed shortsightedness, for which you are not wearing required glasses, and that is causing strain on your eyes. This is a case of tension headache, which mostly is due to the strained vision in your case here. wearing glasses will reduce the headache. There could another problem of vascular migraine, however it's a diagnosis of exclusion in our case.
I suggest you start wearing glasses.
