light headedness and strange pulse

[Marchmummy]

whenever i stand up i get light headed and i often get a strong pulse which i can hear in my ears! does anyone else get this? used to get a bit lightheaded before pregnancy but its been worse since.

yeah i get this especailly at night when i get out to the loo about 20 times. i also suffered with it before pregnancy. the best thing to do i find is sit upright and adjust your head before you stand up and just take your time when moving around, i think we have to accept the fact that we can't speed around like we did before!! also eat small regular and often to keep your blood sugar up.

I had a real dizzy spell yesterday it was horrible! And im alot more aware of my pulse, I think it has something to do with the increase in blood volume in the body

I get the pulse in my ear thing - really annoying, but I thought it was because I have a cold at the moment. Can't seem to get rid of it, tried shaking my head and holding my nose when I swallow but it's still there.

It seems really fast too.

Glad I'm not the only one.....

hi marchmummy,
i got this and actually passed out sometmes! i could hear the pulse as well and when i sat down i could see my eyes juddering as if there was a pulse in my eyes!
just get lots and lots of rest and drink plenty of water thats what my midwife told me to do!
take care hunny!

it could be your iron levels are low and your slightly aneamic. I passed out a few weeks ago. My levels are on 10. They told me to get up slowly from sitting to standing and vice versa
