My bp came out low at the last checkup and i keep feeling dizzy when i stand up. Im in 2nd trimester. Will ask gynac next visit but wanted to know how u all managed it day to day.
I had terrible morning sickness and couldn't keep fluids down, which made my BP drop. I drank ORS water and small sips of coconut water throughout the day. Please check with your gynac if you are unable to keep food down or feel very weak.
Please be very gentle with yourself right now. If your BP is dropping, lie down on your left side immediately to improve blood flow. I strongly suggest informing your gynecologist about this to stay completely safe.
When my BP went a bit low, I made sure to drink lots of water and lemon juice with a pinch of salt. It helped me feel better, but I strictly avoided self-medicating. Please ask your doctor if you feel very dizzy.
Make sure you are resting well and staying hydrated. If you feel dizzy, please sit down immediately and take some warm water with salt. Do check with your doctor for safety.
Low BP can sometimes cause fainting, which is very risky during pregnancy. I had complications earlier, so I highly recommend calling your doctor to get it checked. Don't ignore it if you feel lightheaded.
