My OB's office made me come in and check my blood pressure, but it turned out to just be vertigo. My doctor had me take mucinex, but if I didn't have borderline high blood pressure, then she would've had me take a decongestant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constant-dizziness#post-843077 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 12:32:05 +0000 Torchwood 843077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The catch is that I went to the doctor for the ringing before I knew I was pregnant, and they said there was no infection or anything. She basically said it looked like my ears needed to pop. But I've been on five planes since then, and my ears popped a zillion times, so that doesn't make sense to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constant-dizziness#post-843063 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 12:21:21 +0000 Navy_Mommy 843063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it's ear ringing on top of that, it sounds like an ear infection or swimmers ear to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constant-dizziness#post-842976 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 11:15:46 +0000 Torchwood 842976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for all the replies! I will definitely ask about B12! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constant-dizziness#post-842165 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 17:24:51 +0000 Cherrybee 842165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Y'know, it sounds like vertigo or an ear infection to me. I think a trip to the doctor is in order. I hope you get it sorted, it sounds horrendous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constant-dizziness#post-842047 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 15:44:37 +0000 Caly 842047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry, that sounds so miserable. I had pretty constant dizziness &amp; fogginess for a few weeks during my first trimester. Now it just comes &amp; goes. My dr said it was normal, to drink lots of water, rest &amp; to not make any sudden movements, etc. Definitely tell your dr all your symptoms. Hope you start getting some relief soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constant-dizziness#post-842043 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 15:42:05 +0000 Pepper 842043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have this while pregnant, but I did have a mild bout of vertigo several years ago that sounds very similar. It went away on its own, but I remember being pretty miserable/feeling like I had the spins all the time. Either way, I'd definitely mention it to the doctor on Monday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constant-dizziness#post-842015 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 15:14:25 +0000 lil owl 842015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doc told me to take vitamin B12 for my dizziness. (I felt like I was on a moving boat 24/7) don't know if that helps </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constant-dizziness#post-841963 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 14:34:41 +0000 Torchwood 841963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did a quick board search and it looks like dizziness is common, but I didn't see quite what I'm experiencing. It's not so much dizziness as a feeling of constant motion. Like being on a plane, where you aren't quite still, and then occasional bigger movements that make you lose your balance. It's been 100% of the time (sitting, standing, laying down, before and after meals, etc) since sometime about a week and a half ago, and it's really unpleasant, especially since I do lose my balance sometimes. Has anyone else had this, and maybe had it go away at some point? I've also had a constant ringing in my ears since I got pregnant (I'm 9 weeks now), which is apparently not that common but normal. So I'd guess my inner ear is completely wonky.</p> <p>Google suggests "unrelenting dizziness" might be a cause for concern. I'm going to call my doctor Monday, but I've been out of the country for the last 2 weeks so haven't had phone access. Anyone have any thoughts at all? </p>
