Or her nurses and haven't gotten a hold of them..does anyone know what it could be?

Ive had this happen every pregnancy a few times. Same symptoms only I got ringing in the ears and a bit of deafness when it ended and I was soaked in sweat. Could be low sugar low iron but mine was caused by low blood pressure. If u have a sudden drop in blood pressure that will do that. Its almost the same as an adrenaline rush. My son gets those same symptoms when he sees blood

I had this while still working. Was guaranteed to happen unless I ate protein for breakfast. So eggs on toast everyday it was for me and I was fine :) if I didn't have protein it would happen most mornings. Had a little low iron but nothing else could explain why it happened. Doctor said its bc we have so much extra blood pumping around our bodies

Never got back to me so I drank another bottle of water and tried to eat an hour later after I regained my strength back if it happens again im going in being I don't have insurance I want to try everything out before going but I do think my bp dropped that's why I got so cold and clamy so my body started sweating

That happened to me about a month ago it made me sick to my stomach.  My doctor said its low blood pressure. I have been taking my vitamins everyday and drinking water not much of anything else and it has not happened since.  Not sure if that's what is wrong but I hope you get it figured out and let us know

When this happened to me i was severely dehydrated. Try drinking plenty of cool water if you don't like the taste of water alter it with lemon juice. It could also mean low blood pressure which is common in pregnancy. I bought a BP cuff and checked mine daily at let my dr know if i noticed drastic changes.

Uht oh... how far along are you?
It could be a few different things, I had similar experiences and mine was due to low iron, not as extreme as what you explained. Keep hydrated, and eat small meals all throughout Thr day. Hoping your doctor calks you back soon. Best wishes
