Has anyone used compression socks for low blood pressure / dizziness?

Question

I'm 8 weeks pregnant and have been having significant dizzy spells and an unbalanced feeling when walking after laying down -- no matter how slowly I get up. Anyone used compression socks  for this purpose? Did they work? I'm getting desperate!!!

Answer

I use compression socks for nurses, the black ones you cans find at scrub/uniform shops

Answer

Dawn!  I'm sorry you're feeling crappy but this is wonderful news. I look for you on here to see what's going on with you. I've prayed for you. As for the dizziness, I had it with a migraine that lasted about 4 days around week 10. Socks didn't help me, but with that migraine I don't think anything could. I know it sounds cliche, but lots of water helps. Good luck!😘😘

Answer

You most likely just need to adjust your hydration-- that's a really common point in pregnancy to have those issues because your blood volume is needing to increase very rapidly. Drink way more water than you think you need, and maybe some electrolyte beverages too.

Answer
