I'm Currently Feeling: | I've been having dizzy spells, and hot flushes on and off for a couple of weeks now. Doc sent me for bloods and said my iron was a bit low, and that could be causing it. But I'm gonna go back again cos still feeling a bit odd. Best that you get it checked out hun. It's prob nothing serious but better to get some medical advice. Hope you're feeling better real soon. xx  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | It sounds like low iron or low blood pressure. It's probably nothing to worry about hun, it's a common problem, but it's best to get checked out, your doc will probably be able to give you something to help if it is low iron.  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I've had similar symptoms. Haven;t fainted but have felt really funny, my head constantly hurts and i've been exhausted. My doctor signed me off sick, still not right but went back to work today and am in bed already!! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I agree with Mummy2many, probably just low blood pressure or low iron but always best to get these things checked out! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | It's common I'm almost fainted after my last 2 blood tests. Also helps to eat beforehand so your blood sugar level is OK, and drink lots of fluid.
It might just be your blood pressure or iron, but they would have taken your blood pressure at the time, and you will get your iron test back soon. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Yeah,it sounds normal,especially after having your blood taken out.I used to faint after that even before I was pregnant because I have really low blood pressure.
So it could be it or maybe low iron.In that case your midwife can proscribe iron tablets to you at your next appointment...xxx |
