Unexplained Dizziness

Question

Hello, I am 25 weeks pregnant and have unexplained mild dizziness (feels like a head rush) for the last 3 weeks. My blood pressure is normal, blood sugar is within normal limits (I have gestational diabetes, hence test 5 times a day), my doctor ran all blood tests like iron, calcium, magnesium, liver profile, kidney profile etc. and all are within range. It mostly happens at the same time during the day and a couple of times at a different time.  Each episode lasts 20-40 mins and gets better when I lie down.  My doctor is also a bit surprised and trying to figure out possible reasons. My doctor said that since it is quite mild and goes away, there is nothing to worry about but he would ask his peers as well for their opinions. Has anyone experienced anything similar?

I had something quite similar during my pregnancy too, mummy. 😊 All my tests came back normal but I would get random dizzy spells, especially when I was tired, dehydrated, or had been standing for too long. Lying down and resting usually helped. My OB wasn't too concerned since baby was doing well and all my results were normal, but I still kept monitoring it. Hopefully your doctor can figure out the cause soon. Take care and don't hesitate to rest whenever it happens! ❤️
