Suggest Treatment For Dizziness During Pregnancy

young woman 31, 10 weeks pregnant. Has been dizzy at times over past few weeks but minimal morning sickness. This pm she had dizziness, strong emesis with reported blurring of vision and small "spots". after a while of resting post emesis, vision has improved. Since it is nighttime, does she need to be seen or just wait to see if improves or gets worse?

Hello,
Thanks for sharing your health concern with us. From your description, it appears as though your wife is experiencing syncopal attacks possibly due to transient hypotension. This must have been aggravated due to the nausea and vomiting. Hypoglycemic states are also commonly observed during pregnancy. Maintenance of adequate fluid-electrolyte balance is necessary. I would suggest an opinion from her health care provider and if necessary, she may be taken for observation. Hope this helps.
