slightly concerned about my new "symptom"

Auzzie · January 2009

I know I have the strangest body in the world, and my s/e don't match anyone. I mean heck I found out I was pg in the ER because 1/2 my body was numb... the doc attributed it to headaches. I had to have an MRI and everything looked fine.

But then yesterday we were at dinner, (this is going to be hard to explain please bare with me) my vision went kinda blurry. Not the typical blurry but you know when you're about to faint and you're vision just kinda skips a beat? Then today I get this headache in between my eyes, and my vision just seemed outta wack not blurry just makes me pay close attention because it's just off. Now the same thing is going on, almost as if I've starred at the computer too long and my focus needs to readjust.

I feel like I need to calm down, because obviously headaches are doing odd things to my body. I've always been a hypocondriac (yes I can admit that) which gives me another reason just to calm the hell down. I know pg can make you dizzy and maybe this is just a kind of dizzy..??

Okay sorry for the rant, I guess I just worry myself to death. I have an apt with the doc on Tuesday, maybe I'll just bring it up then. Unless ya'll think I should call earlier. Thanks much!

I've seen dizziness listed several times as a PG symptom. ?You know in soap operas they always have women faint and get dizzy spells and then they find out they were PG? ?I always thought that was so funny - but I've been dizzy and have had some horrendous headaches with this PG.

I agree - you need to calm down! ????But I also know that that is basically impossible. ?

I'd definitely ask your doc. ?Maybe there's something you can take for when a headache flares up.?

the vision thing sounds like a scintillating scatoma, which is generally harmless, but can indicate a bp issue... Let your doctor know, they will likely want to keep tabs on it.
