what on earth is wrong with me -phoned in sick to work

[faintpinkline]

Craving macdonalds and despite following wondering how to get it but that's a whole other story.

Otherwise feel drunk really disorientated and drunk

Stand up, wobble, stagger, fall over. Drag myself up again repeat.

Collapsed on sofa not daring to get up now. Everything is spinning about.

Not sick or headachey just feel seriously drunk and exhausted. Hoping good sleep wll help

Am 25+2

Vision ok? Anaemia could be a cause, might be worth phoning midwife for advice and to get blood test.

That sound serious. If you have not already done so, call NHS direct immediately. Dizziness can be a sign of dangerously high blood pressure.

vison fine they did an iron test a couple of weeks ago and all fine so don't thnk ts taht

will call midwife (if can get to phone)

Please call someone, I agree, it sounds a bit worrying.

Has your bp been ok up until now?

Midwife right now.......

ear infection? Positional vertigo? Labyrinthitis?

I think its hypoglycemia.....please eat a biscuit drink some juice and phone the midwife

gong to call neighbour not happy alone

do have ear ache now you menton it

Neighbour (retired doctor) is going to drive me to hospital she's just gone for her car and telling me I've got no choice. bye bye

well done..

hope you're ok

arse

lol

get well soon and non alcoholic .

Hope you are ok x

Just home. Spent an hour being monitored and resting. Blood sugar low, bp low but baby absolutely fine. They made me eat and and let me home but want me to go back in tomorrow for more checks. Feeling completely washed out and exhausted but relieved. Think they only let me home because neighbour has medical back ground and has promised to pop in a few times before I go back tomorrow and to make me come back if she thinks I need to (so lucky she's lovely).

:)

Glad your ok and for you and for your lovely neighbour

Thank goodness you're ok

Now rest tonight, and call neighbour asap if you feel bad ok?

Let us know how it goes tomorrow

My neighbour just popped in and insisted on me letting her take my blood pressure and check my blood sugar (amazed how much equipment she has at home!!) - they've both gone up and she says she's happy to let me stay at home for now as long as I rest properly. (bossy neighbour )

That'a great neighbour you've got there :) glad you're being looked after and hope you feel better/it goes all ok tomorrow.

Good. Fingers crossed it stays that way.

Try and get some sleep ok x

My cousin had something very similar and it was down to her working strange shifts and not eating regularly enough. Maybe small meals regularly might help stop it happening again?

I went in again this morning. They rechecked my blood sugar which is still low but within normal limits and found my blood pressure back more or less to normal. They monitored baby again, gave me a cup of hot sweet tea and sent me home with instructions to eat regularly, get lots of rest and phone them if I think anything at all is wrong.

Thank you all for being so lovely barely remember much of yesterday it was an odd day

That's good, now listen to the advice

Can you take a few days off of work?

Doctor has signed me off until Wednesday

Brilliant
