I had a similar instance both when I have had migraines in the past, and when I was about 5 weeks pregnant and felt like this while lying in bed at night.

It could be a number of things; a migraine (if you didn't have a headache, you could still have had the migraine symptoms of dizziness, affected vision, pins and needles down the left side).
It could be low / high blood pressure
It could be that you had eaten / drank enough that day

It is worth getting an appointment with a doctor/midwife and talking it over though, even if they just check your blood pressure and put your mind at rest.
They do say that if you're getting blurred/spotty vision it's not a symptom you should ignore, but if it has gone away then I think an appointment in the morning would be okay unless it comes back

If in any doubt - call the doctor or 111 and have a chat with them. They'll be able to advise you so much more than any of us (unless we have a medical background!)

Hope you feel better x

I have this, everytime i stand still for about 5 mins i start feeling faint... Since about 7 weeks i think. I was stood in a queue to get my first bloods taken and had to go sit down, i usually feel sick with it to & sweat really bad, like my forehead would be dripping and get sweat patches under my arms. Even just making breakfast some days i find difficult, ive found drinking and eating more helps mine.
Ive not asked Dr about it yet, but i have an appointment on Friday, ill let you know what he says (if you havent been to the Dr by then) xx

Thanks. I dont/didnt have a headache. Home now had some water and something small to eat but now dare not stand up incase it happens again. Worried now this is going to be a regular thing because if my daughter wasnt with me I would have looked daft crouching down lol

Low blood pressure can definitely be a thing for us, so I would just take it easy and make sure you have lots of water/fluids. I would definitely see the Dr to confirm that's all it is though.

I will ring my GP in morning fingers crossed the free appointments are with any GP but my daughter's friends Dad! Could be awkward at school pick up for next few weeks if so!
