Light-Headedness/Dizziness


Light-headedness and/or dizziness are normal when you get up quickly but may be caused by low blood pressure. How low is your blood pressure?   These symptoms may also result from dehydration, low blood sugar or too little iron in your blood (anemia).

Prevention/Remedies
Change positions slowly. Move from lying down to sitting, then wait a minute before trying to stand up.
Avoid standing up for long periods of time.
Take frequent rest periods.
Eat healthful foods high in iron in frequent small amounts throughout the day.
Drink 8 to 10 glasses of water per day.
If your health care provider determines that you are anemic, iron supplements or a change in diet may be recommended.

tq yela n tili. me dah start dah odema n dizzines ni.org kata odema tu masa last stage of preggy, tapi i baru masuk 4 bulan dah bengkak bengkil n timbul urat merah2 (i ni gelap skit, tapi still urat merah tu obvious).urat merah ni masa first preggy x de pun. i rasa mungkin my low blood pressure tu cos of lack sugar kut, sbb i memang kurangkan manis in everything, sbb famili ade history diabetis. ngeri lor.that's why gila2 kontrol gula

Nora bengkil itu apa? and urat itu timbul kat mana?

Bila uterus kita membesar, ia akan menekan pada salur darah besar di dalam badan(aorta and vena cava) ini akan menyebabkan pengaliran darah
pergi balik terganggu and in ijuga akan menyebabkan, timbulnya bengkak dan perubahan pada tekanan darah. Ia juga boleh menyebabkan timbulny urat urat darah pada permukaan kulit.  Bila and baring, keep in mind to frequently baring left lateral(baring on the left, sbb in akan mengurangkan tekanan pada salur darah utama. Bila nak bangun tu, bangun lah dengan perlahan.
Always keep healthy snaks with you, because during pregnancy we tend to get hungry pretty fast. Does your antenatal check up indicates
glucose in your urine?

Oedema adalah disebabkan mengumpulan cecair di dalam tissue dalam badan, jika di bawah kulit, kawasan tersebut akan kelihatan benkak dan berkilat, jika di tekan, kawasan itu akan melekuk. Ianya memang sakit.  

Nora juga boleh mengangkat kaki supaya graviti akan bantu pengaliran darah and penyerapan kembali cecair.  Lepas tu kurangkan pengambilan garam.

U ade tanya tak doktor ape sbb, jadi low ni?u ade pening2 tak? my previous gynae was very good, concern n banyak beri advice. dia yg trigger i utk bersalin kat hospital kerajaan. tapi this time around, the gynae is very young. nampak mcm playful je.i ade odema n low blood pun dia x cakap apa2. klu gynae yg dulu, jgn harap dia easly let me go. mcm procedure i kena lalui sebelum dia puas hati.

You are welcome Hershey.

Of topic.... when are you due?

Semasa tengah mengandung, hormon progesterone akan menyebabkan salur darah relax dan ini akan meyebabkan bacaan blood pressure akan turun sedikit. 12 minggu pertama redah sedikit dari bacaan normal dan dlm masa 12 hingga 28 minggu mengandung, ia akan turun dgn lebih banyak lagi.

My boold pressure reading has been  90/60 to 110/65, i feel fine.  As long as the blood preasure does not go beyond 140/90, I guess it is fine because you are not going into a condition called pre eclampsia.

Blood pressure reading when done when a patient is lying down is higher then when done while pt is sitting or standing.

The amount of blood (or 'blood volume') increases by up to 50% during the first 32 weeks of pregnancy. This creates a dramatic pressure change that begins to outweigh the 'relaxation effect' of the progesterone hormone and the 'dilution' of the blood as the pregnancy progresses. As the pressure increases, the woman's blood pressure begins to creep back up (usually during the last 12 weeks of pregnancy), often back to the levels she experienced before her pregnancy started, or even slightly higher.

Thanx for the very useful info. U dpt mana semua info ni? agaknya sbb tu le my doktor tu relax je, w/pun bacaan blood i tu rendah. but my dizzines tu, do u think because of the low blood pressure. erm, i baru increase  my sugar intake, kut2 le i lack of sugar. tapi i rasa i akn maintain balik my sugar mcm dulu2.

tak pandai nak diagnose ... wehhh..
but If you are hungry and lack of sugar in your blood, you will feel dizzy. I have been there, sampai mengigil tangan. By your bed side, keep some snaks or fruits. so you can just munch when you are feeling one kind. I  suck gula gula when ever I feel dizzy.
