Have had ongoing dental abcess for 2 weeks now following an extraction. It's been much better since third
Lot of antibiotics earlier this week which I'm still taking. I haven't needed any painkillers for 2 days now so im fairly sure it's not that.'
Last night I started feeling a bit odd, lightheaded and woozy like my head is wrapped in cotton wool. Went to bed hoping I was just overtired. Got up this morning feeling sick and dizzy, still got a wooly head. Walking upstairs is too much effort, my legs are burning and my heart pounding after 3 steps. Been on the sofa all day watching tv and dozing. Baby is ok on Doppler, hr is higher than usual but She could just be having a wiggle that I can't feel. She is quiet movement wise, although I'm only 17 weeks so a bit early for movement monitoring to be accurate as obv I only feel movement when she is in the right spot at this stage.
So my question is do I ring the out of hours gp, ring the midwife or do wait and see if I feel better later on? I could have a virus I suppose but I'm not normally one to pick up viruses and the kids haven't been I'll recently nor anyone else I know.

Wow I was planning to sit tight and see how I feel in a few hours. Could this just be low bp? It was very low for me when mw checked on Tuesday, 105/55

A&E definitely. Go. You're in a bad way, poor thing. Or get out of hours GP if you can't walk.
