Early preeclampsia? Anxiety? Low blood sugar? Who knows!

Question

Lately I've been having episodes of getting dizzy, I immediately feel like puking followed by my vision going white and then ending up sitting on the floor. It usually happens whenever. The first time it happened I was standing at my counter making an electrolyte drink and now it's just happening at random intervals. The episodes are followed by a headache and then I just feel super "off". 
Is this just common? Should I be super worried or just wait it out?
I'm a bit confused and concerned by it, but I've also called my midwife a billion times already and I'm fifteen weeks!

Answer

I got this yesterday. I thought I was going to die. Lol. I had my Dr paged because I literally had went almost blind in my right eye. She said it sounded like a migraine and to take 2 Tylenol and 2 diclegis and lay down in a dark room. It seemed to do the trick. I still feel off today but I can see so that's a plus.

Answer

It sounds like a migrane. People can sometimes get an 'aura' before experiencing one, and the symptoms can be completely different. I have a friend who loses her vision and half her body goes numb before the headache. But vision disturbances are a very common one. They can be more common during pregnancy due to the vascular changes you're experiencing.
Preeclampsia symptoms would be extreme swelling in the hands, feet and face. Blood sugar issues can make you feel weak, but that's about it. Diabetes is characterized by excessive water intake and excessive urination, and anxiety attacks are usually characterized by a tightening in the chest, poinding heart, and losing the ability to breathe.
