I’ve been experiencing severe dizziness whenever I stand up, I loose my vision and just feel really weird. This has been for the entirety of my pregnancy so far. I spoke to the doctor at the hospital yesterday and she said all my test results are ok so just to keep an eye on it and try to stand up slower. Just wondering has anyone else experienced this? I had a gastric sleeve last year so wondering if this has something to do this with it?

Hey I have also been having this and it also effects my balance! I've spoken to the GP and they said it's normal. All my bloods and stuff are all okay aswell. Do you usually have low blood pressure? X

Hello! I’ve been the same - actually to the point where I’m almost fainting and throwing up from feeling this way. I’ve had my BP checked and it’s quite low and then my heart rate is quite high so this is what’s causing it for me. No one gave me any advice on what to do but I feel like if I keep eating smaller more frequent portions then I feel it’s not so bad. They say that increasing your salt intake also helps. Sorry hun!

not usually no, my BP is all good as well! It’s just annoying having to stand up at snails pace every time I want to move!! X

Maybe get your blood pressure checked? Mine is usually low so I guess I have a drop in pressure when I stand. It is very very annoying isn't it, I'm doing 12 he shifts and it gets worse throughout the day

oh gosh I hope this gets better for you, must be horrible! I already eat little and often as I had my gastric sleeve so that probably works in my favour! Glad to hear I’m not the only one though! ❤️

my blood pressure is all fine, the doctor said that it could be due to the increased blood flow it takes a while for the blood to go from my legs up to my head when I stand… hoping this passes at some point x

ohhh yeah that's probably it then! Interesting what our bodies do right

the things I learn about our bodies just amazes me!

Yep! It’s my blood pressure. It sits so well most of the time but I’m having dips and it’s making me feel dizzy/ off balance etc and I need to just take a minute. I’ve had it checked a few times when I’ve mentioned it and at the time I’m feeling well, but I took a wee funny turn everything went white and ears ringing etc and went straight to docs and my BP was low low even 30 mins after it so I’d put money on it being random dips in BP that aren’t being picked up

ohhh I wonder if it could be that!? I did have this before my pregnancy as well but always put it down to my gastric sleeve as I can get like that if I’m due a meal or haven’t been drinking enough! I’ll bear that in mind!
