Il try to make this as short as possible.
For the last couple of weeks I’ve been feeling lightheaded and ‘spaced out’, I’ve been able to ignore it and get on with my regular day to day activities but recently it’s gotten worse. I’m constantly feeling this ‘spaced out’ heavy feeling and now whenever I look away from my phone/tv or whatever I’m concentrating on I get sudden heart palpitations and the lightheaded feeling increases. It doesn’t happen every time but it’s frequent enough to be hindering my life. I’ve had no change in medication and no other health issues that I know of.
Has anyone had anything similar?

Yes I have this, but I’m 8 weeks pregnant. Is there possibility of this?

No possibility of pregnancy but I’m glad I’m not alone in feeling like this. It’s been so rough, the weakness is debilitating.

I experienced something similar to this - feeling lightheaded and a bit out of it, palpitations, brain fog, hair falling out - GP did a blood test and it turned out I have very low iron levels. I'm on 3/6 months of supplements (ferrous fumerate) and I feel so much better. Worth talking to your GP!

That could be a possibility. I did have a blood test back in august that showed everything was in the satisfactory range. It could of changed though. The main thing worrying me is the heart palpitations whenever I move my eyes away from what I’m focusing on, and the weakness it brings. Il book a blood test and a gp appointment tomorrow. Unfortunately our doctors have had a lot of restrictions put back on them so hopefully I will be able to see someone face to face.
