Dizziness

I’m 5 weeks pregnant and I’m getting these sudden phases of dizziness/passing out feeling and pain in my neck both sides to my shoulders which feel heavy. I was wondering if anyone else has had anything? I’ve been trying to eat healthy and going on walks etc but i don’t remember having these symptoms this early on in my first pregnancy.

Maybe you should call A&E and tell them about your symptoms and see what they say.

@Sadia should I just call the maternity line and ask them? I worry they’ll just say to go in and have to wait long hours with them telling me I’m fine but I’m not 😖

I would just call A&E. They ask many questions and then they say the clinician will give a call back later or if it’s very serious they might get an ambulance to you etc. It could be anything! I haven’t tried the maternity line so I don’t have any experience of what would happen tbh, but if what you said might happen then just call A&E.

I mean call 111 sorry.

I had something similar it was an iron deficiency- they gave me supplement tablets and when that didn’t work a monomer drip. Usually, with pregnancies after your first you may feel symptoms a bit earlier just because your body is more aware now so it’s easier to find these changes- even if they are subtle changes x

@Alisha Akosua thank you I’m going to check with A&E and keep an eye out with the symptoms
