icesktr189 Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 my blood pressure has been at 120/80 which is really good for me, BUT i have severe dizziness and can barely see straight. Is this normal? i thought if my bp was good i would feel much better but i feel horrible. Also have severe brain fog.Oh btw i am now 36 weeks pregnant.

MomtoGiuliana Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Any changes in symptoms while pregnant warrant a call to your doctor, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anna Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Hello Dani,Yes a sinus infection could make dizziness worse, but please please do not rule out things like preeclampsia (SP?) as far as I understand it, it is much easier to miss if you have pre existing chronic low BP. Make sure your OB is keeping a check on your BP, warning over! Take careAnna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flop Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Having any sort of infection (especially sinus or chest) always makes my POTS worse until the infection resolves. However I don't have any kids so can't comment on that. The usual advice for pregnant ladies especially towards the end of pregnancy is to consult your Obstetric doctor immediately about any rise in BP. Even though you have an appointment tomorrow I would give them a call today and explain how you are feeling. Always best to be cautious.Hope eveerything is fine and you are soon enjoying your new family member.Flop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icesktr189 Posted February 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 thanks for the replies! turns out i dont have pre eclampsia thank gosh! hahait was a sinus infection.. weird thing was that i didnt have the pain or pressure just "floating" feeling with horrible dizziness and i couldn't focus my eyes at all. the amoxicillin is helping and now i feel like my head is decompressing lol.just kind of worried because this pregnancy i have had so much sinus problems and i really hope when i give birth they go away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anna Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Hi Dani,So glad you got it checked out, the sinus thing might be to do with all that extra blood with all those nice hormones little baby has you circulating,hope it clears up soon. Look after yourself.Anna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
