Has anyone else experienced bad headaches during pregnancy? I have the ones where I feel the pressure is behind my eyes. When I get up I feel dizzy and sweaty and then start to be sick especially first thing in the morning. It was so bad this morning I couldnt go into work.
I thought with all the stress I have been under recently (In 4 weeks my grandpa died, then Mum in Law was diagnosed with cancer, died 10 days later and hubby is very down) I thought my BP would be skyhigh. I went to Lloyds pharmacy and they checked BP. It was 72/53 so very low. Luckily the doctors surgery had a space to see Midwife today instead of planned appt next week.
MW said that headaches were very common in PG and although I really like her I walked out thinking I was no better off knowing how to deal with them. My BP had raised to 102/78 when I saw her and she said to have 2 weeks off which from sat I have 2 weeks hol from work anyway.
Can anyone suggest anything for the headaches? I'm still suffering tonight. I'm drinking more than ever to make sure its not dehydration and have had a few cups of coffee to make sure its not caffeine withdrawl. Any help would be gratefully appreciated XXX
