Blacking out again and what my Dr. said.

whoaitsnikki · June 2014

So I've still been having my black out spells even though I have been drinking enough water and eating (Finally thanks to diclegis and zofran). My doctor said that I need to continue to drink as much water as I can and document every time I have it happen again until my appointment next Wednesday. From there she will decide if I should see a neurologist. Anyone ever seen a neurologist for an issue like this? Just wanted to share my info and see if anyone have dealt with this before. Thanks.

Thank you! I just hate not knowing. Hopefully she will get it all figured out soon.

Just want to say I'm so sorry you are going through this and I hope everything is ok!!! Our bodies do crazy things when we are pregnant!

I am glad your dr is keeping on top of this. GL!!

Will you have your iron tested too? I have had a neuro workup in the past pursuant to collapsing (not pregnancy related) but nothing was unusual. They said it was stress. Not a satisfying answer because I don't know how to prevent it or deal with it. I've had fainting spells since I was a kid and I guess I'm just prone to it for no apparent reason.

No help but just wanted to send positive thoughts your way that they figure it out soon!

They tested my iron and everything last visit and all they said was that I was dehydrated and my blood pressure was slightly low and to take the medicine and vitamins and get enough water and food. They might test it again?

Oh no! That sounds really scary. FX everything is ok!

Oh dear! FX the doctors can figure it out and it's nothing serious!

that's so scary, i hope they find the reason soon and it's nothing serious!

whoaitsnikki · June 2014

Thanks everyone. I will keep you all updated on what happens and what they say at my visits.

Also have them check vitamin B12. lack of that can cause wicked neurological symptoms and they rarely think to test it.

Hope it gets figured out soon!

I hope you get some good answers soon!!

mockingjay1 · June 2014

FX you get some answers soon. Better yet, I hope the blackouts will stop.

How about your blood sugar level? I'm a hypoglycemic and if I don't keeps sugar high enough I get dizzy and see spots. It's gotten low enough 2x to the point where I fainted. Does this sound like something you might have?

Hope it stops soon! My sister was dealing with something similar a while back, can't remember exactly what the cause was if they ever found one, I think it would happen mostly when she was overheated though? Good luck and feel better!
