My blood pressure has been a bit low lately and I feel dizzy sometimes. What can I do to help increase it safely during my pregnancy? I want to make sure I'm healthy.
Listen, low BP means u need to eat small, frequent meals and stay hydrated throughout the day. Don't stand up suddenly from bed or chair, do it slowly. But don't start eating extra salt on your own, ask your doctor first.
Please do not try any home remedies to alter your blood pressure without asking your gynecologist first. Low BP can sometimes cause fainting, which is dangerous for you and the baby. Let your gynac check and suggest the right steps.
I know how terrifying it feels when you suddenly feel lightheaded and weak from low BP. Try to lie down on your left side and drink some water slowly to feel stable. It is normal to feel anxious, but rest well and definitely contact your doctor about this.
Low blood pressure can make u feel so weak and dizzy, which is very scary during pregnancy. Since I conceived through IVF, I was extremely cautious with every symptom. Please make sure u rest immediately when dizzy and speak to your doctor before changing anything.
Low BP is quite common in the first two trimesters as blood vessels expand. My mother suggested drinking salted buttermilk or lemon juice with salt, which really helped me feel better. But please consult your doctor to find the exact cause, safety comes first.
