What Causes Dizziness And Brightness Of Vision During Pregnancy?

HI, I am 21 weeks pregnant and had an incident a couple hours ago, after being outside for just over an hour. I suddenly got dizzy, my legs got weak, my vision brightened, ears felt like they were water logged or something, and my neck, chest and shoulders felt really tight. I had been drinking water, so I didn t think it was dehydration. Could it have to do with blood sugar dropping? My husband was ready to take me to the ER, but I just told him to go home and I drank a Gatorade, ate some chips, and felt better. Now, I just feel weak/ worn out and my head still feels kind of funny, but not dizzy.

Hello ma'am and welcome.

Yes it could have possibly been a hypoglycemic episode and you need to understand that you are feeding for two and not one. So a little more food at regular intervals would be considered healthier.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
