(Almost) fainting often

[CooKie Tea]

I only had very short (almost) fainting spells with my last two but this time it won't leave me and I deal with dizzyness all day.

I am fine when I rest, when I walk stairs however, especially earlier during the day I end up on the floor eventually, where the dizzyness subsides once I lay down.

At times I also feel strange and dizzu when on the go and have to sit down or lay down when it is bad. I have had this since week 11 and am now 18 weeks.
A few times my heart was also racing. Once for 4 hours.

My doctor brushed it off as stress since my sugar and blood pressure were always fine.

Could it be related to your iron levels? Have you had them checked?

I'd get them rechecked to be on the safe side.

They were on the lower side of normal. I did not know that could cause fainting.

So the fainting spells went away and are now back...so mysterious. I have s feeling it is connected to hormonal changes since I notice nausea along with it.
