Answer 1

Hey there,

I would check your blood pressure (take it once while sitting/laying down and then once when standing up). Also, try to get your blood sugar tested; high or low blood sugar levels could possibly cause this. If everything above is normal, are you drinking enough fluids? For the blood pressure and blood sugar tests you're likely going to have to ask a health-care professional unless you have access to  this equiptment at home. I really hope this helps and that you're feeling better soon. And one more thing, I'd check into this ASAP b/c, if you did fall from dizziness, it may  harm the baby.

Answer 2

have you had your eyes tested? it may be that you need glasses. if your vision is ok then the next stop would be the doctors.

good luck and dont let it get you down x*x

Answer 3

i think you may need glasses.

Answer 4

It could be being pregnant.  When I was pregnant with my son I used to suffer from dizziness quite badly and quite a lot, especially if I got hot.  This was during the first 4 months whilst I was also feeling very nauseas although I wasn't often actually sick.  As a result I used to try to avoid going out anywhere.  I think it was probably caused by low blood pressure.  To be honest it's all a bit of a blur now because it was a long time ago and I used to spend as much of my day in a horizontal position because it used to ease the nausea and prevent the dizziness.

I think a visit to your GP is required just to get it checked out as it could be a number of things (eyes, ears etc) and also to give you peace of mind.

Answer 5

Balance is controlled by the mechanisms in your inner ear.  Perhaps you have an ear infection.  

Lightheadedness may be caused by low blood pressure.

I don't know if there is any connection with your pregnancy.

Have a word with your doc or nurse.

Answer 6

call your doctor now.  With pregnancy this could be high/low blood pressure, gestational diabeties.  you need to call them and have thing checked out.

good luck
