Pregnancy and blacking out?

Question

If I get to hot or if I’m just on my feet for to long…I get really sick. My chest starts aching to the point that I feel like I’m having a heart attack. I start pouring the sweat and I get really light headed and dizzy. My vision begins to fade and it’s the scariest thing ever. I almost passed out in the shower the other day. I’m just wondering if this is normal? Could it be caused by anything? Has anyone else dealt with this?

Answer

I experience this too . I am 13 weeks and I think a lot of it is due to me not eating much at all during the first trimester but I’ve found if I eat something and drink water before walking around or showering it helps with the dizziness. I’ve also been taking baths when I can’t stand up in the shower. I can say that my appetite is better for the day when I eat first thing in the morning. And drink lots of water. It scared me I thought I was gonna pass out in a grocery story the other day :(

Answer

How are your iron levels? Are you keeping hydrated? Cause I’ve had this happen during pregnancy and before. It usually was because I hadn’t eaten so my iron levels dropped or I hadn’t drank anything all day.

Answer

I had this, heart palpations and all the associated side effects. Speak to your gp & midwife as it needs to be monitored. If you feel v bad phone an ambulance as they have the ability to monitor you immediately and track what's going on when it's happening.
Its scary, I can relate. If you can, lie down and it may pass.
Fortunately for me, the baby was pressing on the vagus nerve thing and that's what was causing it, so when he settled into position it stopped.
