SUPER dizzy today....

So when I woke up at 2am for my usual bathroom trip I almost fell over and had to catch myself on the wall and hold on to something the whole time I was up...then when I woke up for the day I was still leaning to one side and walking in a diagonal instead of straight....anyone else have this?? is it pregnancy related or should I be worried about an inner-ear infection??

Re: SUPER dizzy today....

  • I get light headed/dizzy if I get up too quickly these days.  My OB says it's normal.

  • Like everything we pg ladies get told: try drinking a bunch of water. It might just be low blood pressure. I've felt like that once or twice in the night, but it usually resolves itself by noon.
  • I get lightheaded/dizzy all the time and the culprit is low blood pressure.  Try to stay as hydrated as you can, even if that means chugging some water during middle of the night pee breaks-- it helps me.
  • Another tip, in addition to staying hydrated, is to make sure to eat every few hours. If you notice that you feel really dizzy in the morning, try eating a light snack before you go to bed.  That's what I have been doing and it seems to really help.

  • I've had this and last week it was so bad I had to sit with my eyes closed or I felt like I was going to be motion sick.  For me, the eating/drinking didn't help.  I have a feeling it's an ear thing for me (I had a sinus funk a couple weeks ago)- I have an appointment tomorrow, we'll see what the MW has to say.
