What's the matter with dizziness

Many women do not understand what symptoms they will experience during their first pregnancy. Some women who are expecting a second child experience different symptoms during their second pregnancy than during their first, which causes them to be confused about some of their own symptoms. Some pregnant women often experience dizziness and sweating after becoming pregnant. If you want to know why pregnant women feel dizzy and sweaty, please read the following content together. You can have a deeper understanding of pregnancy reactions.

1. What causes dizziness and sweating in pregnant women?

Many pregnant mothers who experience dizziness and sweating don’t understand what’s going on. In fact, it’s better to know more about it.

Generally speaking, when pregnant mothers experience dizziness and sweating, they will consider whether the following situations are true:

1. Insufficient blood supply to the brain

Low blood pressure and cerebral ischemia can cause dizziness, which usually occurs when pregnant mothers suddenly stand up or take the elevator and experience dizziness and sweating. In fact, this situation may be due to the formation of the placenta, which causes a certain degree of drop in blood pressure, which is physiological.

2. Low blood sugar

Eating too little and having low blood sugar can also cause pregnant mothers to experience dizziness, accompanied by palpitations, fatigue, and cold sweats. It usually occurs when eating less, because blood sugar is the raw material for muscle cells and brain cells to produce energy. If blood sugar is low, cell energy will be reduced and this situation will occur.

3. Compression of blood vessels

Because the pregnant mother's body undergoes great changes during pregnancy, it is easy for the blood vessels to be compressed due to improper body position, which may cause dizziness and even sweating. It usually happens when you are lying on your back or sitting on the sofa watching TV, so you should change your posture or stand for a while after a period of time.

4. Anemia

This is a more serious situation. Once anemia occurs, the pregnant mother will experience symptoms such as dizziness, headache, and even sweating. Therefore, you should consume iron-rich foods such as animal blood, pork liver, lean meat, etc. on a regular basis to prevent such a situation from occurring.

If this situation occurs during pregnancy, pregnant mothers are advised to pay attention to it and not think that it will be fine once the dizziness passes.

2. What should pregnant women do if they feel dizzy and sweat?

Once a pregnant mother experiences dizziness and sweating, the first thing to do is to find out the cause, and then take appropriate measures based on the cause to avoid more serious situations. So, what can be done?

1. Diet

First of all, this situation may be caused by hypoglycemia or anemia, so of course diet becomes particularly important. The diet during pregnancy needs to be balanced, and attention should also be paid to supplementing foods with iron and vitamins.

2. Eliminate disease

First of all, in normal people, dizziness and sweating may be caused by fever, so pregnant mothers should promptly discover their physical condition and rule out the occurrence of fever, colds and other diseases. If such a situation occurs, do not take medicine privately. It is best to use physical therapy.

3. Inspection

Of course, these conditions should not be taken lightly when pregnant mothers encounter them, so the best way is to go to the hospital for examination. Unless they are pregnant mothers who already know that they are anemic or have hypoglycemia.

So, do you know what to do?
