PASSING OUT!

[cab'o'holic]

For about 5 weeks now i have been passing out at first they told me my blood pressure was fine, and signed me of work.Now they are telling me its to low! but it should get better if i take it easy, drink plenty of water and stay cool. but its getting worse, my 5 year old son found me the other day and brought me around it must have been so scary for him!
im back to the doctors today as i passed out yesterday and have stabbing pains around my tummy, has anyone els had this and if so have you any idea what i can do?

I had this with my daughter and it was also down to low blood pressure. I passed out at least once a day. I almost got a t-shirt printed with a slogan 'don't worry, I'm pregnant not ill, and I'll come round in a minute'!!!!

It used to shock other people more than me!!!

Unfortunately, there wasn't anything they could do for me, but medical knowledge has changed a lot in 13 years.

Good luck at the docs.

The doctor is refering me to the hospital for them to do some tests on me he said i am having syncope episodes, whatever they are! and gave me a sick note for 2 months said it was to dangerus for me and the baby to return to work.
