Thread: what a scary night

Hey hun,
I has never happened when I was pregnant, but I have felt like that sometimes. I have actually passed out from that. I did feel that way when I was in the hospital delivering my twins. It could be your blood pressure dropping, which will cause your heart to race. My blood pressure fell really, really low and my heart was racing up to 175 bpm. I would definately make an appt with your doc. Can you see the other doc, not the one you called? You definately need to be seen about this. I hope you can find something out soon, hun!

Hey!! That sounds awfully scary. It sounds like Panic Attacks to me. I had them a few times but not when PG. It could also be blood pressure related. It was very rude and insensitive of your Dr. to not take it a bit more seriously know you don't drink caffine. I would get a second opinion.

In the mean time, be very careful and if you feel something come on, try to take some deep breaths (in through your nose and slowly controlled out through your mouth) and calm yourself back down. I found w/ panic attacks that if I catch them as they are starting, I can control it and keep it from getting to that point you described.

Best of luck!! Don't be afraid to run yourself to the ER too....always better to be safe rather than sorry!!!

thanks guys yea when i called my mom with my situation she said it could be anxiety attavks, blood pressure related or simply something with the baby or nothing. i am worried for all day today my heart never raced but it occasionaly beated faster than wat it was beating. i might go tomorrow to see my doc as i have to pick up my peek aboo pictures (3d sonogram pics) tomorrow and some medical papers as i am transfering to the clinic cause of medicate. but thanks girls for ur responses. i'm glad to see some people care when a doc doesnt it makes me feel better.

I have had simarlar things. It began about 15 weeks. I would suddenly get really hot and sweaty, my heart would begin to race and I would feel sick and like I was going to faint. I would need to sit down and breath slowly until it passed after about 5-10 mins. It had happened a few times since. I told my midwife about it and she said that it could be a drop in blood pressure or sugar level and that I should eat breakfast as soon as I woke up. Since then I have been ok, it has not happened for awhile.

Everytime i'm in the grocery store I get hot and dizzy and faint... My friend actually did pass out in the grocery store because of how bad the heat is down here.She ended up passed out on the floor and hit her head. She got to take a ride in an ambulance due to it. .

I'd call my drs office back and demand to be listened to. Thats not right how they did you. Your concerns should be heard..

I'm so sorry you were feeling so bad. And then to top it off the doc pretty much ignored u. It only happened to me in the beggining of my pregnancy. I was dizzy alot and my heart raced but after about 10 weeks it stopped.If it happens again be sure to go to the ER just in case. I'd rather be safe then sorry

thanks girls for all your concerns. i really appricate it. i have a docs app on wensday so i will expalin everything to the doc then and see wat i might have been, but definately if it happens again i will go to the er to make sure.

Glad you are going to the docs. That was going to be my suggestion. Also glad you don't have much longer to go. I know when I was 6 days before my due date, I was having those problems. And, not to scare you, they were worried about pre-eclampsia. Hopefully, you do not have anything remotely like that. Best of luck!!!! Hope the rest of your pregnancy goes quickly!!

something similar happened to me but i had just got finished getting my wisdom teeth pulled i was very shakey after the procedure so the dentist lady said did i wanna lay there for a little longer i said no i will be fine. so has i head to the car before i even get to the door i start sweating, my vision goes blurry, and everything around me goes quite and my ears start ringging. it was a very cool day so i make it outside the door and lean against the building as im standing its getting worse so i sit down on the cold ground and start taking deep breathes by this point i was short of breathe i think this went on for about 3 minutes which seemed like forever. my mom has bad anxiety attacks and i told her about my symptoms and she said it sounded like i had an attack but i have never had this problem before why now? its only happened twice since then and they were not has bad has the first so i havent told my doc, but on the other hand should i tell my doc even though they are not happen has often?
