What Causes Severe Headaches During Third Trimester Of Pregnancy?

I m 36 weeks pregnant. I have had a severe headache for over three hours despite taking medicine for it. My lower lip is tingling, I feel extremely weak and dizzy. I don t think I can drive because I can barely walk. I don t feel like I m dehydrated and I know that I am anemic. However, I haven t felt this horrible in a long time. Help?

Hi

I have gone through your query, i will try to give you suggestion which will be helpful to you.
As you are 36 week rule out hypertension by getting your blood pressure checked. Anaemia or hypoglycemia may also cause your above symptoms. I advise you to take glucose drink and relax for a while. Check for baby movements and consult your doctor as soon as possible

I hope this suggestion might be of some help to you. I will be glad to help you in case if you have any further queries.

Wish you speedy recovery. Take care.
