Low blood pressure

edited March 2011 in Pregnant
I've been getting dizzy since yesterday evening. This morning I felt like I was going to pass out so I ate some whole grain crackers and cheese to see if that helped. It never did so I took my blood pressure which was low, 87/55. I drank some gatorade and went to the doctor when I got there my bp was 88/52. He said for me to "take it easy" (not easy with two 4 year old!) and to increase my fluid intake. If I'm still dizzy/have low bp Monday I'm supposed to go in for blood work. Has anyone else had this or have any other tips for bringing it up? I'll be 16 weeks tomorrow.

  • Mine has been running low. I almost passed out at work the otherday twice. It was 90/60 sitting but no telling what it was while I was standing and about to black out.
  • If I stand too long I just feel wrong, too hot and freezing at the same time then it looks foggy and I have to sit down. @salsabia Doc send to think its dehydration. I hope that's all it is.
