All I do is almost faint

StaceyM06

Well, not ALL I do, but I have almost fainted 3 more times over the last week. Each time, I had just returned from picking up my lunch in humid high 80s weather. I have been drinking water like crazy but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Anyone else have this problem? I'm scared to go to the beach this weekend. My doctor is testing me for anemia in a little under 2 weeks. I kinda hope I have it so I know how to address the problem (iron supplements).

Also, sorry for being MIA. My boss is out of the country so I'm doing the jobs of 2 people until mid-June. I hope to check-in as often as I can. Congrats to all the new BFPs!

I was having horrible dizzy/almost fainting spells.  I went in last week and they discovered my sugar levels are low.  So I have to eat every 2-3 hours and so far no more dizziness.  I hope you get some answers and a break at work soon!

I get dizzy pretty much every time I get up/ stand up. I was first told it was because of low BP due to OHSS but I don't have OHSS anymore.

I have the same problem.  Horrible dizzy spells and near fainting.  Stay safe and let us know the results after the anemia tests.

I've definitely had this when getting up. Tuesday I was sitting in class, just sitting, and it hit me. I had been drinking lots of water, had just finished a little snack, and all of a sudden felt it coming on. Thankfully I went outside and it passed but this was the closest i've come to juuuust about passing out. I have an appointment Wednesday to discuss it, but my OB didn't seem overly concerned at this point. Still, strange and scary. Let us know about the anemia tests too! I think I'll ask to have that checked as well.

I'm so sorry buddy!  It stinks that you have to wait that long for answers.  I hope they are able to tell you what's going on and it is an easy fix.  Feel better!!

I've been feeling this way the past week here.  It's gotten much hotter here this past week and even with drinking water I feel like I can't keep up.  Thinking of you and hope that your doctor figures out what's going on.
