What Causes Diarrhea And Shortness Of Breath In Pregnancy?

I'm pregnant and having problems with direa and have episodes where it gets hard to breath and I get light headed. Everything goes blurry and I feel like I'm going to pass out. I also get really warm when this happens. It usually occurs when I'm sitting down.

Hello ma'am and welcome.

There could be two possibilities to this presentation, one is a drop in blood sugsr levels to which your posture is irrelevant and the other is a change in blood pressure to which your posture is relevant and could be caused due to a condition called postural hypotension.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
