Could it be that I need to drink more?

Question

Today I was waiting to get sth for breakfast at a counter and I felt I was going to faint! My blood pressure probably went down or something and I felt my ears blocking and I started seeing all black and sweating! I tried telling the lady at Starbucks that I was feeling sick and she just said -oh you need more time...and turned around! I got really scared that if something had happened to nobody was going to help me! Do you think not drinking enough water could be the cause? Anybody else had a low pressure episode?

Answer

When I felt like I was bout to faint it was because I wasn't eating right/ enough...my doctor told me I needed to eat more and eat more protein...he also said that my blood sugar might have dropped and It also had something to do with my blood pressure...I have high blood pressure. The last time I felt like I was about to faint I was at the doctors office and my blood pressure was high...so he put me back on meds and I have added more portion and ever  since then I been fine

Answer

That happened to me at panera from low blood sugar

Answer

That happened to me in line at Universal Studios. I think it was a combination of not eating or drinking enough, and the fact that I have a tendency to lock my knees when I stand. It was never a problem before I got pregnant, but I've had to constantly remind myself to keep my knees bent and I haven't had that happen anymore.

Answer

I've had that a couple times I think it's blood sugar I drink orange juice as soon as I feel it coming on and I'm ok.

Answer

Low sugar can do that.

Answer

Yes!!! Totally! I've been feeling that way for a week now and my blood pressure has been dropping like crazy. I asked the doc and he said it's totally normal because you're producing way more blood now and hormones like progesterone make the veins and arteries relax.

Pedialight (sp?) and drinking tons of water all of the time helps. Also, if you're not sensitive to salt, upping your salt intake helps too (but not crazy). Your blood sugar may be low too, so maybe always having something with you with a quick sugar fix like hard candy might help. A

It's SO scary, but for me the fear of passing out is causing me anxiety which is making it worse.

You also might want to get your blood pressure tested too to see how low it is.

Good luck!!

Answer

Yip I had to drop to ground so at least if I fell it wasn't to far to fall 
Did this in mcdz supermarket random houses at work etc good times

Answer

It happens to me quite often. Usually the day after I take iron or when my blood sugar drops suddenly. As I opened your topic to read it, it started to happen to me. I find drinkin some cold water slowly and putting a cold compress on my neck helps until it passes and if I don't eat something shortly I feel like I'm going to puke.

Answer

Try to find a wall ASAP and put your back against is that way if you faint you just sort of slide down the wall. I know this sounds silly but my mom fainted a few times while pregnant and this is her advice

Answer

Could be low blood sugar. Had you eaten recently?

Could it be that I need to drink more?
