Dizziness?

[Enchanted]

OMG I can't believe you are 30 weeks already! That seems to have flown!

I used to get dizzy a fair bit and my BP was always fine but I found that it happened on days when I hadn't drank or eaten enough.

Funny you should mention this, I was just sitting on the lounge, and all of a sudden got extremely dizzy, where the room went around in circles, and I almost fainted.
I'll be interested to hear what your dr says. I've always suffered low bp, it's even worse in pregnancy, but not usually while I'm sitting down.

hmm, i would put it down to low BP too. But what also came to mind was your blood sugar level could be down too. Anyway, best to check with the doc like you are doing. Goodluck, i hope it is nothing serious.

The reason i asked if it could be something else was that last time my BP was ever so slightly elevated from normal, so low BP probably isn't the case. Hmmmm. Will see this afternoon & let you guys know.

Not sure if you'll get this before your dc appt but thought I'd say that it could also be from low iron levels or dehydration. They are the two main reasons that I get little dizzy spells (though thankfully my irons fine ttr). But if it is low bp then I spose it could definately be worse coz that in itself should be fine you'll just have to be careful not to faint

My appointment had to be cancelled as my Dr was called out to an emergency, work tomorrow so it's now on Monday. Just going to take it easy over the next few days & see how I go.

Mrs Baj I do have low iron, so it could be that too...
