Hello and welcome to HCM, Dizziness and light headedness can occur in fasting state. However, there is no such history in your case. Since, you are 28 week pregnant, hypo tension can result in dizziness and light headedness. The problem is not a serious one but consultation with your gynecologist will be good especially you are experiencing such episodes frequently.
Thanks and take care Dr Shailja Puri
