Hypo, please get the help you need by making a phone call to your doctorbefore Monday. The fact that you are dizzy and pregnant is concerning.

Your doctor is the only one who knows your health history and can advise

you on the low b/p. :) xx

Hi,Make sure you get to the doctor, when the doctor has reassured you and you can go home happy and not worry....

Stop checking your blood pressure, you'll drive yourself crazy! Look forward to that go little baby! Best wishes.

Hi There;

Are you active? if not it could become a problem, but Pregnancy does weird things to your body.

I'm not a doctor, but there is something called postural Hypotension which can become a problem in anyone. Best you see your doctor about it.

Cheers, Midori

That is low.. I run low also.. My Dr recommended Gatorade.. I personally prefer powerade zero, same but no sugar.. I heard pedalyte.. Most regular foods have salt, so you may not need to watch sodium as much as most people... I was told as much by my Dr. Good luck 🍀 😘

I did my blood pressure but I was lying down on my side it went really low but when I sat up it’s normal should I take it when I’m lying on my side?

The cuff needs to be at the same level as your heart.

It was not from anxiety. I would black out in the shower.. Watching TV light headed..
