Constant dizziness/feeling groggy

5 replies

I am 3 months PP and for just over week now I’ve been experiencing a kind of constant feeling like I’m hungover (a bit lightheaded and dizzy). This started the day prior to my period and I was on iron tablets during pregnancy not sure is this is relevant.

I have been to the GP and have a blood test on Thursday.

Anyone experienced similar and if so what was wrong?

Solidarity. I’ve had this for about a year since I stopped breastfeeding. I’ve had every test under the sun and the doctors have no clue

I have this too. And I have iron overload so not related to low iron levels.

no idea what it is and no test showed anything.

hope you feel better soon

It’s driving me insane, my eyes feel quite heavy as well! I feel like I’m almost in a bit of a daze. I wonder if it’s linked to iron but who knows I guess il see what the blood test reveals!

I recognise the feeling of being in a daze, it’s horrible so sorry you are suffering. I have had a full blood count, thyroid check, vitamin b12 and iron, ferritin and vit d, ECG and blood pressure and all good rather than fine so who knows
