My bp keeps coming low and i feel dizzy when i get up fast, almost fell once in the kitchen. Im in 2nd trimester. What do u all do at ghar pe to manage it?
Oh, I completely panicked when my BP dropped to 90/60 in my second trimester! But my doctor reassured me it's totally normal because of the increased blood circulation. Just start drinking lime water with a pinch of salt, it works wonders. But do check with your doctor if it makes you feel faint.
Make sure you aren't doing any heavy walking or yoga if you are feeling dizzy due to low BP. Always check with your doctor before doing any exercise, and rest immediately if you feel lightheaded. If dizziness persists, check with your gynac.
Low BP is quite common in the first two trimesters as our blood vessels expand. Make sure you don't stand up too fast from a sitting position, and keep sipping water or salt-sugar solution throughout the day. If you feel too dizzy, check with your gynac.
Actually, this used to happen to me a lot, yaar. I would just lie down on my left side and ask someone to give me nimbu paani with extra salt. Try to avoid standing for too long, and definitely call the doc if the dizziness gets too bad.
When I was staying at my parents' house, my mom would make sure I had a glass of salted buttermilk every afternoon to keep my BP steady. Try to take small, frequent meals and rest as much as you can. If you feel very dizzy, please let your doctor know.
I know how terrifying it feels when you suddenly feel dizzy or weak, your mind immediately goes to the worst thoughts. Please take a deep breath, it is a very common pregnancy symptom. Just lie down on your left side, but if the dizziness is severe or you feel like fainting, please call your gynac right away.
Low BP along with morning sickness was a nightmare for me because I couldn't keep liquids down. Try to sip slowly on salted lemon water or have some light soup. Don't rush out of bed, but if you feel extremely dizzy or cannot stand, contact your doctor immediately.
Drinking coconut water or home-made salted lassi is a great natural way to bring low BP back to normal. However, if you feel extremely dizzy, faint, or have severe headaches, please consult your doctor immediately.
Make sure you are drinking enough fluids and not skipping meals, as low blood sugar can also make you feel dizzy. I had to monitor my diet very closely due to gestational diabetes, and keeping a steady intake of water and small meals helped. If it remains low or dizziness is constant, tell your doctor.
I totally understand how weak and scary it feels when your BP drops and everything starts spinning. Please lie down immediately and put your feet up on a pillow. Sending you lots of love, and please call your gynac if you feel too dizzy.
After everything it took to conceive, every small symptom like low BP can feel so alarming. It is usually just the body adapting to the pregnancy, but please be very gentle with yourself and check with your specialist if the dizziness is severe.
When my BP dipped, the doctors at my hospital advised me to increase my salt intake slightly and drink plenty of buttermilk or coconut water. You should definitely give your gynac's clinic a call so they can advise you based on your exact readings, especially if you have severe dizziness.
