Just wondering if anyone knew the reason behind a dramatic and instant drop in blood pressure.
I went in for monitoring yesterday as had awful back ache (I'm 32 weeks). As I was laying down on the bench the midwife accidentally made me fall backwards as she let the handle go as the recliner was going down and I ended up upside down.
I thought I was ok and we laughed about it. I was hooked up to the monitors and everything was perfect including my blood pressure.
Midwife left the room and 2 minutes later I nearly fainted and felt awful. She checked my blood pressure and it had dropped in the space of 5 minutes to 80/40. Would the shock of the bench make this happen?
They kept me in for 8 hours for monitoring and am now home but feel absolutely awful since. Can't seem to regain any energy.
Anyone got any thoughts? And is low blood pressure dangerous?
