Suggest Treatment For Weakness, Dizziness And Fainting Episodes
Question: Hi. My name is XXXXXXX I am 19 years old. I weigh 138 and I am 25 weeks pregnant. I also have a little boy, who I had almost 2 years ago. When I was pregnant with him I would have these "spells" where I would almost faint. I would be sitting or laying down, my heart would start racing like 140+ sometimes and I would sweat, my whole body would feel so odd, I would shake, have weakness, dizziness, vision would almost go out, id see weird sparks of light everywhere and my hearing would almost go out. This pregnancy it has started to do it again, and I don't know what it is because they can't catch it happening. It's frightening, it makes me feel like I've ran a marathon when it's over. Please let me know what you think is happening to me. Thank you in advance.

Hi, thank you so much. I'm not sure about my hemoglobin, and I just done a glucose test with my gynecologist and I haven't got a call yet, so I think I passed that. However my blood pressure drops when this happens I've noticed it will drop really low and my heart rate jumps up. I also have hypothyroidism, vitamin D deficiency, if that matters any. Thank you again. I'm trying to make sure I tell you everything but I'm just not sure on exactly what ties into this issue I'm having.
Hi, I was trying to find the Vaso vagal on google, and all I can find is Vaso vagal syncope, and it says my heart rate would be slow and it's never slow when I have these episodes, also it says it would be triggered by me seeing blood or something and I'm always relaxed in bed or sitting down when it happens..
