Feeling odd and worried about pre-eclampsia. Any advice?

I'm 32 weeks and at work and about an hour ago my peripheral vision suddenly went, and vision in general was really blurry and I was struggling to read anything on my computer. It's kind of recovered but still not perfect, and I have a bit of a headache and my head feels kind of hot and just a bit weird and dizzy in general.
I had quite a hectic day yesterday and generally a bit knackered, so it may just be that. Not sure whether to just have a paracetamol or whether to ring doctor or hospital? Last checkup with GP was a week ago and blood pressure etc was fine. Any advice anyone? Not sure if I'm panicking myself unnecessarily...

Call them, go and be checked at the hospital better to put your mind at rest, you will not be wasting anyone's time!

Let us know how you get on x

Could be a number of things but you should go and get checked out anyway. Better to be safe.

Hi, pe can be very nasty. I don't think you are worrying unnecessarily, if I were you I would go somewhere and get your bp checked. My hospital has a number you can ring to speak to a midwife for advice, they are always lovely so maybe you could try that? Otherwise, walk in centres will check your bp and urine for you.

Hi everyone, thanks so much for the advice. I rang the hospitaland they suggested i come in just to be safe, and they put me on a monitor for a while and tested BP and urine and everything is fine. They said it was a kind of migraine related thing, which is odd because I'm not particularly prone to migtaines or headaches. Guess I was just overtired so taking this as a hint to start taking it all a bit easier! So pleased i went and got itall checked out though, would be so worried if i hadn't, and prob lying awake all night making it worse!
Thanks again for sympathy and support - it's so hard to know whether you're overreacting or not! x
