Terrible sickness and fainting

[EmC96]

Hi
I’m 10 weeks pregnant and feeling pretty awful. I’ve barely left my house for the past week and cannot work. My heart rate keeps going up to 130 and I go all dizzy and faint. I have actually fainted a couple of times. I cannot eat anything even though I’m on cyclizine and I’m pretty dehydrated and so weak.

I’m seeing the midwife for my booking in appt tomorrow - any suggestions of what I can ask for? I feel so so poorly!

Hi when does your heart rate go up? Ask your doctor about POTS.

@mummykauli7 It can happen at any time even just sitting down or laying in bed. I can suddenly feel it beating through my chest and can see it in my stomach.

Ask to be reffered for a monitor. They can track your heart rate for 24/48hours and then follow up depending on the results. When does the fainting happen?

This is a medical issue, not a midwifery one. I suggest you ring your GP tomorrow morning & ask to speak to duty doctor. They can organise appropriate investigations
