Dizziness
Hi, im 20 weeks pregnant and for the last few weeks I’ve been dealing with dizziness. I have a bp monitor and I’ve done a sitting bp and standing, my sitting is normally around 105/66 hr 85 but when I stand it goes 88/75 and my heart rate goes to 130bpm. I also feel insanely dizzy and unwell. I’ve been in and out of triage the last five days because I’ve had high bp readings around 150/100 followed by very low ones, I’m stuck, idk what to do and I have a toddler to look after I can’t function like this…

You need to go to triage, those readings need to be investigated. Xx
Keep a log of your BP and pulse with dates and times and if you were standing or sitting
That’s what my mum recommended me to do because they weren’t concerned each time I went to the doctor, she said it will help to show a trend and spot any concerns earlier (she’s a nurse)
Eventually they found out my iron was low which was making me dizzy and I could hear my heartbeat in my ear
Hope you get it sorted soon and all is okay!x
