just felt like i was going to faint
i was sitting in my cubicle and all of a sudden i got really hot & shaky, sweaty , my heart was beating fast and i was seeing stars. i really thought i was going to faint so i went over to my secretary and she had me sit down and drink water and i finally started to relax. she said maybe my sugar was low but i had breakfast so i wasnt sure what happened.
i called my dr and he said its very normal for that to happen to just take it easy and not to get up and down too fast today. and if it keeps happening to call him again and he'll have me come in for tests.
has this happened to anyone else?? it was scary!

Re: just felt like i was going to faint
I used to get lightheaded too, for very brief periods of time. Maybe you need to eat more?

Re: just felt like i was going to faint
Happened to me all the time when I was pregnant. All that extra blood kinda does crazy things to your system! Definitely take it easy and keep hydrated! But know it's common. If you feel very off, go home or to the doctor. You know your body best and shouldn't ignore it.

Re: just felt like i was going to faint
I'm pregnant with  and I get this all the time. My doctor recommended that I see a cardiologist. I went and there were no problems to report. The cardiologist said it was due to the nature of the pregnancy, increased blood flow. When I'm dizzy standing, I should sit. When I'm dizzy sitting, I should lay down on my left side. i know this is difficult to do when you're at work though!!

yeah, the dr recommended that i lay down but he said i kinda cant do that if im at work lol. i'll just take it easy though. my work can wait! lol my secretary said it is probably from the increased blood flow and that our bodies do weird things when we're pregnant. she said she used to get hot flashes and sudden migranes all the time when she was pregnant.

Re: just felt like i was going to faint
that happens to me very often, make sure you have a snack or candy with you at all times. When it happens to me, I just sit down, drink some water, pop a candy in my mouth and just close my eyes for a few minutes.
Feel better
