freaked out

So my head has been hurting today and earlier Idk if I picked my head up to fast or what but I started seeing spots. They went away after a few minutes, but the headache is still here. When my boyfriend gets off work I'm going to walmart to check my blood pressure since my doctors will be closed by then. It was prefect at my last appt, but I know it can change in a heartbeat. Ugh I'm worried

I've had the spot and they go away
I asked my doctor about it and she said as long as they go away on their own and don't last long it should be fine and not linked to anything bad.

That has happened to me 4 days in a row. I've learned that for me it's a warning for migraine. I get the usual eye floaters then I see shiny spots and bam migraine. The spots get so bad that I can't see well.

Okay that's good that you stopped working and your BP regulated. But I would definitely try taking a nice warm bath and try eating something light...

Do you still see any dots or anything?

Sometimes when I get up too fast I get a headache and my vision gets a little blurred but the blurred vision usually goes away pretty quick but sometimes the headache stays.

I don't think you have to much to worry about hun but just make sure your staying hydrated and like you said, go to Walmart when your hub gets home and just check... If you still don't feel right go to L&D, it's never wrong to get checked. You know your body the best, no one can tell you different! :)

This may sound weird but do your eyes feel dry? This pregnancy has given me really dry eyes and that will cause me to have a horrible headache and the only thing that will help is eye drops

My last appt is Friday and my next is this Friday. My doctor had me stop working when I was 33 weeks cause of swelling. My blood pressure was a little higher then but as soon as I stopped it went back to normal. I'll be 37 weeks tmrw

Why not try taking a nice warm bath. Make sure you stay hydrated and try eating something light.

Do you have a history of high blood pressure and has this ever happened to you before?

Also when was your last doctors apt? And when calling the doctor did they tell you anything or seemed concerned?

I just woke up from a nap and haven't been outside today. I'm just laying in bed and I've got my water bottle by my side. I won't take any medicines. They say Tylenol is safe but I don't want any chemicals going to the baby

Don't worry hun it could be the heat try keeping ur feet up and staying cool and drinking water ... This heat is no joke /: you could also ask your doctor for a prescription to an at home electronic blood pressure machine my doctor gave me one so I could check whenever I thought it could be high or low

Ugh I'm sorry :( I'm sure you've already taken medicine but have you tried lots of water or gatorade to make sure you are not dehydrated, maybe a nap or laying on a heating pad?
