Fainting

[tastiizombii]

For the past three days I have been lightheaded, dizzy, and twice I have blacked out or nearly fainted. My doctors office has yet to call me back, the receptionist apparently can't make a same day appointment and it has to be done by the medical assistant, I have left two messages and no word. To top it off, they are only open til noon and as of this....it is almost ten.

What should I do?

Wow, tou need a new doctor or your doctor needs new receptionists/nurses. That is outrageous.

Yes holding your urine is bad especially when your pregnant. If you have to pee go. If anyone at your work has an issue with your bathroom breaks tell them to kiss it!

I am minorly anemic. No gd, but they just did that test so I knew that wasn't tge problem.

Also ended up having a very minor uti...holding it at work is bad I guess lol

Find a new Dr! Never should they ever brush stuff like that off! I work for a drs office and a call like that would be my priority!

Ask to be tested for anemia and gestational diabetes! I bet you have one of those!

I was having the same thing and they kept telling me to drink Moore water.  Finally I asked to be tested early for gest. Diabetes and they tested for the anemia too.

I ended up being severely anemic.  Check your pre natals for iron.

You need a new doctor.

Seriously pissed at my doctors office. I went to the hospital and as I was checking in THAT'S when they called...three hours later....to tell me to go to the hospital.

[lkaykirk]

Honestly I think you need a new doctor. I'm sorry they are treating you like this.

If possible change your healthcare provider. What a nightmare :/

i get this too..for me its low blood pressure for which theyve always told me basically its fine..nithing they can do..but mu advice is get sat down immediately that u start feeling off even if its the pavement (ive had to do this) just so u know if u faint babies okay..i used to find this was trigged by heat in my last pregnancy..this time its started later n happens less so.im.not sure why..hope u get seen soon tho..get them to check ur iron levels too

That happens to me and its due to me havkng low blood pressure... what helps me is in the morning eating something salty and if ur feeling lik its going to happen have a piece of lemon that helps me good luck

I agree to go to like a medexpress or urgent care. This happened to me several times with my first pregnancy and my doctor told me it's something that I should call about and be seen right away. It could be a problem with blood pressure, blood sugar or a sign of something else. That said, with me it was a problem with blood sugar levels.  Drinking lots of water, eating steadily all day with plenty of healthy calories, and not overdoing my activity mostly resolved it. And my baby was totally healthy and actually really strong. It was just me having the problem.  So your baby could be fine.

What's worse is this isn't the first time. I got into a car accident and was bleeding really bad that my boss took me to the er. But I left messages then too and they never called then either.

Go to the minor emergency care. And let your doctor know the next time you see them that you do not appreciate them ignoring you.
