Lightheadedness/Dizziness

in 2nd Trimester

this morning i was standing at work at suddenly had lightheadedness, fuzzy hearing, fuzzy vision with tunnel vision, and i started sweating, but was cold and clamy. i called my doctors office and they just told me to go home and relax for a few days and if continues then to come in. my concern is what would have triggered this. i didntdo anything strenuous, and was only standing for a short time. i had eating cereal in the morning. anyone else ever get this.

and sorry about the all lowercase and wrong punctuation...my phone isnt working right

    I had something similar happen to me last week. I was sitting at my desk and all of a sudden I got very hot, dizzy, room started spinning, nauseous. It was awful. I called my dr and went in. I had eaten about an hour before it happened and my dr feels that since the baby will be growing so rapidly over the next few weeks it's almost like a drop in my sugar. But that this is normal and should stop in a few weeks.

    This has happened to me occasionally. For me, drinking a ton of water helps, not sure if that will help you. It also for me wouldn't have anything to do with food (I don't think).

    I haven't brought this up with my doctor but I think I will make a note to.

    Sorry I wasn't much help, let us know what the doc says!

    If it continues to happen you may what to check your blood pressure.  sounds like what happens to me when my bp either dips too low or is too high.

    Same exact thing happened to me once a day for about a week around Week 17. Doctor said even though I didn't FEEL hungry, the baby was probably stealing all my food! He said to drink a ton of water and try constantly snacking, his suggestion, apples and peanut butter. I kept some with me and munched in between breakfast and lunch and it never happened again.

    I had episodes of dizziness and lightheadedness with my first pregnancy.  When I called my OB's office, they told me I needed to check my BP.  When my BP was okay, their suggestion was to eat more protein.  For me, protein made a huge difference and I doubt your cereal had much protein.

    This happened to me yesterday and this morning. When I called the nurse they told me to come in just to make sure everything was okay. Everything was fine with the baby but they also had no idea what caused it. It's kind of scary!

    This happened to me after a day of not drinking much water and no snacks.  It was very weird and I called the Dr. and they said it was due to not enough water and after eating, all the blood going to my stomach and baby.  I drink a ton of water a day and have been very mindful of snacks and it hasn't happened to me again, although occasionally I do still get a mild dizzy or light headed sensation, but I have a seat, drink some water and feel better shortly after.
