Can pregnancy cause giddiness even when lyong down?
I'm feeling very dizzy these days, even when I'm just lying down. It's quite unsettling. Is this a common symptom during pregnancy, or should I be concerned?
I understand exactly how unsettling and scary it feels when the room starts spinning even when you are resting. It happened to me too, and my anxiety made it worse. Try to lie on your side, breathe slowly, and definitely inform your doctor so they can check your vitals.
I am in my 18th week and felt this exact same spinning sensation yesterday while lying down! It got me so worried. Did anyone else experience this, and did your doctor say it's just normal blood pressure changes?
This can happen if your blood pressure fluctuates or if you lie flat on your back, which is why only side-sleeping and gentle stretches are allowed by doctors. Avoid moving or getting up too fast from bed. Please consult your gynac before doing any physical movements if you feel dizzy.
Yes, I actually feel this too when I lie flat on my back! My doctor told me to always sleep on my left side to keep blood flowing properly. Are you lying on your back when this happens?
Hey, don't stress too much, but try not to lie flat on your back as it compresses a major vein and causes dizziness. Turn to your left side and sip some water. If it still keeps happening, just drop a message to your doctor.
Haan na, laying straight on back can cause severe giddiness due to blood flow. Always turn to your left side while sleeping. But if it happens too much, do talk to your gynac to check your BP once.
Giddiness even while lying down is not something you should ignore. It could be due to blood pressure drops or low Hb, so please call your gynac today. Better to get it checked out for safety.
Oh, I used to feel dizzy sometimes and my doc said it could be low blood sugar or pressure, so I started keeping small snacks like nuts near my bed. Try lying on your left side instead of your back. But do ask your gynac to make sure everything is okay.
