For the past couple of days i have this constant feeling that i am going to faint. My body gets all cold, i feel giddy then my legs feel like they are going to give way and everything gets dark. Thankfully thats all that happens as i rush to sit down and drink water.
I'm sitting on my lounge right now, my head is spinning and when i stand up my body goes cold and my legs feel like they are going to give way. I was supposed to work today, i only gave 45mins notice... i felt fine when i woke up just gradually started to feel terrible.
I do have a cold right now, ive been throwing up a whole lot as well im not sure if thats contributing to feeling like this.
I had that feeling too when I was pg, and I can't remember how to fix it! I think it was from a lack of food staying down (so wasn't getting any nourishment) and the body was just weak. Hopefully someone can give you a better idea. Hope you feel on top of it soon!
That happened to me and it was an issue with my blood pressure. If you are concerned I'd recommend a visit to your GP or midwife just to get it checked out.
It happened to me and mine was an issue with iron. Mine was also accompanied by extreme fatigue and breathlessness.
Even if it is from a cold, it is really worthwhile to be checked out by your doctor to ensure there is nothing really concerning. It will put your mind at ease a bit too
Yeah I would say it's most probably your iron, or your blood pressure. Probably blood pressure on the lower scale. And it could very well be your iron because you need alot more during pregnancy kwim
There is also a virus going around at the moment with these symptoms but it is always worth getting your iron levels and blood pressure checked.
When you feel like this try and eat something sweet as well as having water as this can help.
Nothing is worse than feeling you are going to pass out, you just hope that a chair is nearby.
Wouldn't surprise me if it was a virus. I am always good at catching them. And i was in melbourne for 8 days so can't completely rule that out. I have been eating lollies and drinking water in small amounts so i dont throw up.
How's your blood pressure, hun? I became famous for my fainting spells during pregnancy, I used to get nosebleeds too (ick), I had issues with a lack of iron (despite taking Elevit) and very, very low blood pressure. If you can talk to a GP and get checked out that'd be your best option and they may have some good advice for you, in the meantime just try to take it easy on yourself, eat small amounts frequently, try getting a bit of salty food into you (especially if you're throwing up a lot, you may be dehydrated and losing salt).
Hope you feel better soon hun
I felt the same way as you describe, with vomiting and unable to keep anything down, around the 20 week mark too. I ended up spending 2 days in hossy on a drip to rehydrate me. BP was fine, and tests came back clear for infection etc, so I still don't know why. My ob said possibly pregnancy sickness, overtiredness or an earlier virus may have laid me low. I still feel dizzy if I do too much, or don't eat often enough (back to the morning sickness routine from the first trimester!)
HTH and hope you feel better soon. I'd suggest a check up too, just to be safe.
