Dizzy Spell, Normal Right? Posted: 04-19-04 09:20am
About 30 minutes ago I went on a walk with
my mom (not far tho, didnt over-exert
myself at all) we only walked down the
street n back... Prolly a total of 3/4 a
mile both ways.. Well, we only walked one
way and we stopped and talked to the
neighbors for about 10 minutes.. When we
were there I was just standin there, theni
felt sick and nauscious all the sudden..
So I knelt down on the ground well they
talked for a few minutes cuz I felt realy
weird and sick all the sudden.. Then I
stood back up and I was really dizzy and
got scared I guess cuz tears were runnin
down my face and I dont even know why I
was crying but I was was.. It was spinny
around me and kept trying to take deep
breaths that werent deep enough... I came
home and sat down for 10 min and now I
feel ok. Still feel a tiny bit sick but
nothing big.. Do u think it was cuz I was
in the sun too much today? I wasnt in it
that long. .Only tanned for about 20 min.
.But I sat out there for like 2 hours
all together today prolly, mostly in the
shade tho.. What do u think?

That is very typical during pregnancy!
You only have to worry if they continue.
That is the exact thing that was happening
to me but it happened to me everyday. I
found out I have hypoglycemia. So just
keep an eye on it!
I think it's normal, but if it continues
to get worse or anything see a doc!

I heard its normal during pregnancy. It
happened to me all the time before I was
pregnant though... My mom told me its
from low blood sugar, and can be from low
iron too... I get like that from
standing still too long if im hungry or
thirsty... But has only happened to me
once since ive been pregnant... My mom
always told me to eat somethin with sugar
in it and I will feel better. If it
happens often then tell your doctor about
it and im sure he will do somethin to help
you.

Well I went to my doctor on my last appt
and he told me hes pretty sure I have
'gestational diabetes' (pregnancy
diabetes) so I have to go get a 3 hour
test on tuesday. Wonder if that has
anything to do with it?

Yep that is probably why! Carry some
crackers with you or hard candy and make
sure you eat one every half hour or so.
Also orange juice works good. They always
say to eat something with sugar but
sometimes I feel like soda or candy gives
me too much and I still feel dizzy so
crackers and orange juice work good for
me!

Only prob is.. My doc says to stay away
from sugar from now on cuz of the diabetes
hes pretty sure I have. (get my 3 hour
testing tomorrow, hoping hes wrong which
he could be!) but crackers are a good
idea, I will carry them with me thanks!
