Dizzyness

[nutcracker]

Have been feeling extrememly tired yesterday and today and then this afternoon i started to feel dizzy. It seems to be worse when i'm sitting down and i keep trying to focus and then everything starts swimming.

Also feel a bit queasy.

Any ideas or am i just getting old

still feeling rough Nutty??

Yeah am sooooooooooo tired, it was a real struggle to go to school.

Had soime tea and did feel better for a bit but now it's back again.

No one then ?

I would make an appointment with my GP - could be lots of things - wonky blood pressure, diet related (are you eating properly/enough?), could be the beginning of a tummy bug.

Hope you feel better soon!

God Forbid you could be (dare I say it... pregnant?)

Sorry Nutcracker, that presumed you would be unhappy with being pg - I dont know you at all, so dont know what prompted me to say that!

I said that to Nutty on MSN too

my dad feels like that when his bp drops low...

Definatly eating properly and enough.

If i'm no better by monday i'll ring the docs.

Thanks

Nutcracker, I had all those symptoms and it turned out to be Anaemia. Felt a bit like early pregnancy, constantly tired and sick. I felt tired for a while, but only started feeling sick and dizzy after a few months and that's when I went to the doctor. Could be worth checking out? I've been on iron tablets for nearly three months now and I feel so much better I can't believe it.

No prob dejags, don't worry about it

Don't think I am pregnant no, but you know what thought did.

Jak - that was my first thought too. Might be worth persuing Nutcracker.

About thought...

followed that muck cart and thought it was a wedding

keep us posted

Hadn't thought of anemia. I don't take any vitamins or anything and my diet is ok but will definatly get that checked.

Last time i had a blood test for anemia because of dizzyness I turned out to be pregnant.

is it possible you are pg - i.e. have you missed a pill, been sick, had an accident with other birth control?

But you know what thought did.

Followed that muck cart and thought it was a wedding.

Pis........ed in the bed and thought he was sweating.

I love that last line, it is so rude.

Hmm well birth control at the mo is withdrawal method >

pmsl MrsGR, I have never heard that before, will have to add it to my repertoire.

don't worry Nutcracker, it will work out. Much more likely that you are slightly run down or similar.

How long would it be before you could a pregnancy test to be sure?

Erm well i think i am due on next week some time. Am not very organised with writing it down so not 100% sure.

Might be as well to start on a multivitamin suitable for pregnancy in the meantime (I think certain things in a normal multivit aren't suitable in pregnancy) - anybody out there who can confirm that?

I would still see the doc next week if you dont feel better.

Good luck!

vertigo?

Thanks dejags, will certainly be at the docs monday if i don't feel better.

Does vertigo make you tired too though ??

Nutty

If you are PG it won't be the end of the world will it ?? That is meant in a, you would all cope sort of way, not a get over it wayn IYSWIM

Nutcracker, is there any reason to think you may be anaemic? Heavy periods?!
I immediately thought pregnancy, too.
