My bp came out low at my last checkup and ive been feeling dizzy when i get up suddenly. Im 5 months now and it scares me a little. What do you all do to manage it, ill ask my gynac too.
Dont panic dear, low BP happens to many in pregnancy. Drink enough water, take rest, and move gently. Keep something to eat handy. But if dizziness is frequent, let your doctor know so they can keep an eye on it.
Mild low BP can be managed with fluids and rest, but if you are feeling dizzy, blacking out or near fainting, please dont brush it off. Lie down on your left side and call your gynac. I had this and they monitored me closely.
With my sickness I couldnt eat much and my BP would drop, I felt so weak. What helped, sipping water through the day, a little salt in food, and never standing on empty stomach. Keep a snack near you always.
At work my BP used to dip and I felt woozy after standing in meetings. I started carrying a water bottle and nuts, ate every couple of hours and stood up slowly. Helped a lot. But if it keeps happening, get checked properly.
Low BP is pretty common in pregnancy, especially mid way. Get up slowly, dont stand too fast, stay hydrated, eat small frequent meals and dont skip breakfast. If you feel very dizzy or faint, sit/lie down at once and tell your doctor.
