Blood pressure low? Feeling faint?

Question

Hey ladies,
In 8 weeks and sometimes feel so light headed. Or sometimes it feels like I can't catch my breath. I know it's normal and I try not to panic but it's not a pleasant feeling. I've been trying to drink lots of water. Anyone else experiencing this? Any tips?

Answer

I carry gum with me so when I start to get that feeling I just chew on that till I can get to something better. It seem to help for me.

Answer

I have this every day now. I have to eat a sugary snack to feel better. I think mine is due to low sugar levels?

Answer

Have you had your blood pressure actually checked? Did your doctor say anything?

My blood pressure has always been on the lower side. Now, pregnancy combined with low electrolytes due to vomitting (thanks morning sickness), it can very, very low.

Drinking powerade helps me.

Answer

Pregnancy leads to low or high BP .. "Feeling faint or cluster headaches"

Answer

I'm 7 weeks and having issues with lightheadedness.  The dr checked my blood pressure and while its normal, when I stand it does drop quite a bit.  He has me taking iron and vitamin b supplements (I think b6?), drinking a lot of water and to reduce sudden movements or standing too long.  It's helping a bit.  Damn baby stealing blood from the brain 😜
