Extreme fatigue, floaters and dizziness :(

Hi all I'm currently 11+2 weeks and experiencing all of the above! I'm extremely tired all the time .. I struggle to keep my eyes open and when I do stand up or move too quickly my eyes are covered in floaters and I have a horrible spell of dizziness that last around 30 seconds! I know I should contact my gp but I hope someone here could shed some light on what it may be and if I fact it's perfectly normal!
Thanks x

I was going to say iron levels but you had OK bloods.

I was the same and it was low iron reserves, not low iron levels. (the doc knew the difference in proper language!) Might be worth asking the question?

I had low iron in my 1st pregnancy and thought the same but they seem fine! Apparently anyway maybe I should get booked into see my gp and hopefully they can help just horrible x

How was your blood pressure at your booking in appointment? My bp gets stupidly low in pregnancy and causes those symptoms.

How's your blood pressure?

The midwife didn't show any concern I've always had fine blood pressure. Although I don't actually know... should it be on my notes?

Your blood pressure results should be on your notes but also get your glucose levels checked (this can be done at the doctors) I had this problem and my glucose levels had dropped a bit

That top number seems very high to me. Are you sure thats right? If it is I would be seeing your GP.

Yeah that's what she's put on my notes for blood pressure after seeing it in thought it was high! Shock
