Fuzzy, spaced out feeling?

I'm 26+4 weeks pregnant and this morning I've been feeling really spaced out and odd. Its hard to describe, but sort of like I'm one step removed from myself? I don't really feel dizzy necessarily, but I need to go and refill my water bottle but don't totally trust myself to walk iyswim? Has anyone felt like this? I feel like I can't think of any reason why but maybe I'm missing something? It's really horrible!

I had a big bowl of porridge for breakfast and have been snacking on raisins a little bit at work and have finished my water bottle, about 350ml. My blood pressure has always been low (including pre-pregnancy) and I had it checked last week at my 25 week GP appointment and it was on the low side but no lower than is normal for me. Haven't had my bloods taken since my 8 week appointment but when I got the results from that the midwife said that my iron levels were "really high". Don't know whether that means I'm less likely to be anaemic now though. I also have an anxiety disorder and have had panic attacks in the past, I don't think its been any worse recently though and generally I feel like I've been managing it quite well.
Any ideas? It's making me feel dreadful!

I had this type of feeling when I was pregnant. Mine was a type of migraine without the headache. I'd start feeling fuzzy then too hot and then eye sight would disappear for a few minutes. I found an ice pack (or something cold) to the forehead helped.
Funny enough mine was caused by having both male and female hormone present in my body. Weird how our bodies react.
Also since you have a past of anxiety and panic attacks if you feel it coming on just sit quietly and try to be calm (easier said than done) closing your eyes for a few minutes might help, don't get up and walk until your certain of your balance etc.
Just a few suggestions, hope you feel better soon and Congrats with your pregnancy Thanks
