Anyone else get this?

[Kitten22]

Hi ladies,

Does anyone get random onsets of weakness every now and then. I went out with the kids today and although I've been eating and I've been taking iron tablets with orange juice since I found out I was preg (18 weeks today), I'm still getting random onsets of weakness maybe every couple of weeks or so. It just started as I came bk.

Anyone else? what could it be? What do you do to alleviate this feelings?

Is it worth going A and E as I've been feeling severe weakness since afternoon?

What do you mean by weakness? Muscle weakness? Suddenly can't lift things? Tiredness? Wobbly? Light headed?

Breathless, heart races when I stand up and walk. I feel this pulling sensation in my chest/heart area.

Low blood sugar?

@sweetsaltypopcorn I've had pancakes for breakfast with honey and fruits I've been snacking as well. I've been having things containing sugar/sweetening. I'm not too sure if its glucose related. Unless it doesnt matter what we consume. Really dont know how it works

Hi, yes I get this. Especially if I am exerting myself suddenly or if I am somewhere warm. I too take extra iron but I also have low blood pressure so it might be worth getting that checked. I drink extra water to try and keep my levels up xx

I had this too mostly when I was dehydrated, so I tried to drink more water which helped. Also if I over did it. Hope you are well x

Had similar, breathless, heart racing and feeling weak and fatigued. Went to doctors who suspect iron deficiency and a test later confirmed this. Now on iron tablets. Get yourself checked just in case as it can get worse and turn into anemia. Hope all goes well. X
