My bp came out on the lower side in the last checkup and i do feel dizzy when i stand up suddenly. Im in second trimester. just trying to understand why this happens during pregnancy. did anyone face this?
I felt so dizzy and lightheaded in my early months, my BP was on the lower side. Eating small frequent meals and drinking water helped me. It scared me at first but it improved with time.
My doc explained the hormones relax the blood vessels in pregnancy so BP can drop, especially in the first half. Standing up fast can make you feel dizzy. She told me to get up slowly, stay hydrated and eat regularly. If you actually faint, get it checked.
Low BP is common early on. Get up slowly, dont skip meals, keep water and maybe a little extra salt if your doctor allows. If you feel like fainting often, definitely mention it to your gynac.
