Are Dizziness, Cramps, Abdominal Pain And Increased Appetite Suggestive Of Pregnancy?

Hi. I ve been lightheaded/dizzy, headaches, cramping/abdominal pain, mood swings, fatigue, increased appetite and a faster heartbeat especially when laying on my stomach. And when I lay on my stomach now it hurts even though this is usually the way I prefer to sleep. Could I be pregnant?

Hello,

The symptoms you mention can be experienced by pregnant women but are not specific to pregnancy. This means that other conditions may cause such symptoms as well.

If you had a delayed period I would recommend you to have a pregnancy test done. This will better determine if the symptoms are due to pregnancy or not.
If you do not have a delayed period then the symptoms very likely are not due to pregnancy and if you have these complaints for another week or so, you may need to see your doctor.

I hope this answers your query.
I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.

Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj
