i feel dizzy and weak especially when i get up fast, and my last reading was on the lower side. im in 1st trimester. how do you all manage low bp at home? any tips?
Low BP made me feel like a walking zombie when I was carrying twins! The best trick is to drink lots of fluids, especially nimbu paani with a pinch of salt and sugar. Also, never stand up suddenly from the bed unless you want to see stars, haha.
Low BP is quite common because blood vessels expand to supply the baby, but please be very careful. If you feel dizzy or faint, please sit down immediately and contact your gynac. Your safety and the baby's safety are most important, so don't ignore it.
Beta, mere dadi hamesha bolti thi ki low BP mein thoda sa namak ka paani ya nimbu paani peena chahiye. Drop hone pe ghar pe thoda aaram karo aur dheere se utho. Gynac doctor ko bhi ek baar dikha lena hamesha achha hota hai.
Keep your mind calm and pray, God will keep you both safe. To help with the low BP, make sure you are resting well and drinking adequate water and fresh juices. Take care of your health, eat nutritious food, and keep checking with your doctor regularly.
Having PCOS made me worry about every single symptom, and low BP in my early pregnancy was quite scary. I found that staying super hydrated and eating small, regular meals helped keep it stable. But do check with your doctor to make sure it's normal and not causing other issues.
Oh god, low BP used to make me so anxious because I kept thinking what if I faint and hurt the baby! I literally kept a bottle of electrolyte water next to my bed at all times. Please talk to your doctor to see if you need any specific dietary changes just to be on the safe side.
I had very low BP in my first trimester and used to feel so weak. My doctor told me to increase my salt intake slightly and drink coconut water daily. Looking back, it was just a temporary phase that got better by the second trimester, so hang in there!
I felt so dizzy and exhausted during my first trimester because of low BP. It was actually quite scary for me as a new mom. What really helped me was drinking fresh fruit juices with a pinch of salt and lying down on my left side whenever I felt lightheaded.
