Dizzy spells while sitting / 19 weeks preggers

[Harley-girl]

Morning Ladies, Mondays stink and I wish it were still the weekend. :)
I am 19 weeks today and very dizzy. I am sitting and am actually afraid to stand up. I feel clamy and flushed like I am going to pass out. I ate breakfast and my B/P is good, the temp is also nice and comfy in the office. Any Ideas on what is causing it and what I can do to make it go away???

Any one else going through this in the second trimester???

i had that in my last pg, and it jst started in this one.  It is acompanied by a tight feeling in my throat, all over muscle pain and a hot feeling in my uper abdomen.  I had a stroke at the end of my last pg and am left with hearing loss in both ears.  I went on Thursday to my neurologist, and he says it is not related, but i think I am going to go for a second opinion, because he tends to act like this is all in my head.  I would suggest mentioning it to your dr, but dont worry to much.  What happened to me is VERY VERY RARE.  Try eating something with high sugar - I dont mean a fruit, I mena like a coke or a couple of sucking candies or something, see if that helps.  Are you having hedaches with the dizzyness also?

If I am active and then stop and sit I get dizzy and sweaty but I attribute mine to being on bed rest so I am not very active most of the time. For instance If I have to go somewhere I get ready go outside where it is extrmely hot and then get into the car - it may take a few moments for the car to cool off and after that I start to feel dizzy and sweaty - almost to the point of getting sick to my stomach.

I have headaches but not today and they are not usually followed by dizziness. I drank a pepsi so hopefully I will feel better and it was just one of those fluke things.

Hey girl, I had that happened to me earlier on.  I think it's your hormones.  Have you had your iron checked?  I hope this will pass soon amd take it easy!

[Harley-girl]

Iron was checked and it is good. I kinda figured it was just hormones. UGH..... I hate feeling like this though. I have not been getting much sleep so that also may be the culprit.

I've had that with every pregnancy also. I would get so dizzy I'd just sit/lay there and watch the room spin. When I got up, I was so dizzy and lightheaded I threw up. The dizzy spells happened no matter what I was doing

My mom said it sounded like my verigo was messed up. It's something to do with your inner ears and keeping your balance. My OB said that I didn't have gestational diabeties, but it was on the lower side of normal. I had to eat/drink something every two hours to keep my sugar level stable. It did work.

I'll never forget how scarey it was that one of those episodes happened while I was driving down the highway. I had to pull off the road till it passed.

When I was 18 weeks pregnant with my son, I had the dizzy spells and headaches and a tightness in my chest and it turned out that i had gestational diabetes, and my sugars were really high when i experienced these symptoms.

i am also having the exact same problems you are and i'm also 19 weeks pregnant. dizzy, racing heart, hard to breath, etc. I have had several tests done, had to wear a haulter monitor for my heart, blood work.... my doctors can only come up with the diagnosis of "mild panic attacks". they put me on some anitdepressants to calm me down but i am to close to my 3rd trimester so cant take it... the best thing i can tell you to do is to sit or lay down and take slow deep breaths and try to stay calm do not get to freaked out. it should pass in a couple of minutes....

the worst one i have ever had was a couple weeks ago and i felt like i was dying. my doctors said that it will probably last until the end of my pregnancy..

hope this helps....

Hi i am 24 weeks pregnant bout to be 25 weeks on Tuesday and i still get lightheaded and this really weird feeling in my throat. I also have been getting body aches for the past couple of days. Not sure what this means though. my daughter she kicks still but its the feeling that i get that bother me.

19 weeks with twins here and had the same dizzy, faint, hot, sweaty feeling this morning.

Called the Doc, they said that these symptoms were common about this time of the pregnancey and can be linked to blood surgar, blood pressure or dehydration.  

I was requested to drink lots of water, have something to eat to keep my sugars up, and lay down if possible.

Still it's soooo scary!
