Not feeling great

bridz2be

This morning I went for my usual walk and was really dizzy and short of breath, so I turned back. I've been getting shortness of breathe more lately, but it isn't usually a big deal. Today though I felt like I had finished running when I got home. I ended up sleeping for about 2 1/2 hours (really uncommon for me) and when I woke up, I had menstrual like cramps in my low back and abdomen. I thought maybe I was dehydrated (I've had achiness before, not as intense, that seems to go away with more H2O) so I drank probably 24 oz within an hour. It continued, so I finally called the doctor and they said to increase fluids even more, take tylenol, and a warm bath and to call back - even if that meant calling the on-call doctor tonight- if it continues.

I again feel asleep for another hour after the bath. The cramping has subsided mostly for now, although I am just so tired and not quite feeling like myself. I've drank probably 4x my normal today and haven't been on my feet at all since my walk, so I'm wondering what is going on. 

Anyone any experience any similar symptoms? We leave Friday for our cruise, so this is making me nervous!

I don't recall having those symptoms.  I hope you are ok!

I remember having a really tired spell and getting slightly lightheaded but no cramps.

I hope every things okay.

I'm not much help but I just wanted to say that I hope you're feeling better today and it was just that you overdid it a bit!

I am feeling better today, thanks. I have no idea what caused it, but I'm hoping the cramping doesn't come back! I go for a walk each morning, but maybe it was the heat and humidity yesterday that got to me.

I'm glad to hear you're feeling better today!  I know I'm late on this but I had cramps around week 18 or so.  I think it was just the uterus stretching.  Have fun on your vacation!
