Early pregnancy dizziness, visual floaters and palpitations, anyone experienced this?

Currently 4 or 5 weeks pregnant ( unsure of dates due to previous miscarriage). I’ve woken up this morning very dizzy and with dots floating in my vision. I feel almost as if I have to concentrate on walking in a straight line. I can also really feel my heart beating almost like when you’ve been exercising. Has anyone else experienced this before? I have contacted the gp as thought better safe than sorry. Please let me know your experiences

What did the GP say? Sounds like a migraine but I’ve no experience of this in pregnancy and I’m not sure about the palpitations

High blood pressure. See GP or midwife in case you need meds or extra scans. I had it but all was good. I was told to take aspirin daily and it was fine

What did the GP say, @Autumn02?
I have had dizziness throughout my pregnancy, despite blood pressure apparently being fine. Heart palpitations I’ve just had in last couple of weeks (now 19 weeks) and a midwife said it’s a sign of dehydration? Maybe make sure you’re drinking enough!

I have a blood test first thing Monday. Blood pressure was all good. We think maybe low iron. I’ve actually been drinking lots I feel very thirsty!
