Hi,
Asking for advice and any feedback for anyone who’s experienced the same. It’s starting to get me down.
Am currently 24+5 weeks and since about 14 weeks I’ve had intermittently low blood pressure. It’s not anaemia I got that checked out. I was hoping that once the first trimester fatigue had gone that I would feel more like myself but almost every day I feel weak, occasionally dizzy, can’t concentrate. Several times a week my BP is down to 74/42. It’s never gone below 70/40 thankfully. I woke up today feeling shaky and it’s 80/45. I went in to the office last week for one day and it really took it out of me - had to close office door after lunch and lie down with legs above head felt so faint. If I go out to do a “nice thing” like a country walk or something I have to lie down for hours once I come home.
Obviously no one medical really cares about low BP and there’s nothing they can do anyway. It’s all preventative airy fairy stuff like not getting up too quickly and drinking enough. I raised it at my 16 week appt and will do so next week at my 25 week one, but don’t have much hope for any different advice.
Basically wondering if anyone else has had the same and when it got better? It’s miserable feeling so weak and shaky all the time.
Many thanks.
