Q: Is it usual to feel dizzy and faint?

I walked into town during my lunch break today and when I was standing in a queue, I suddenly felt very hot, clammy, sick and dizzy and my vision went blurred - I have never in my life fainted but I really felt that I was going to - although the feeling passed within about 20 seconds and I was fine. I am 19 weeks and just wondered if this is common? I am in the middle of moving house and have prob overdone it a little with painting and cleaning & packing...and now I have my worry head on!

I'm only 6 weeks and have had no major symptoms until yesterday when I became lightheaded and was alternating cold and clammy/sweaty. I was shaking and seeing stars, but the weird thing is I had just come back from lunch, so not sure it was blood sugar related. I looked into others' accounts and it seems this isn't that uncommon, just another one of the perks I guess!

Perhaps you have low iron, I had the exact same symptoms when i was pegnant and found out i had an iron deficiency. I would ask your doctor & see what his opinion is.

Could be a drop in blood pressure or sugar levels that made you feel dizzy. It sounds like you may have overdone it moving, as well. I am the same way and want to get things done so I don't have to worry about them. Try to take it easy and check in with your doctor. Mine had me get a blood pressure monitor to keep track daily after I had a panic attack. Good luck and feel better!
