What Causes Dizziness And Massive Headache During Pregnancy?

I am 37 weeks pregnant and I have severe dizziness, a massive headache that has lasted about 2 weeks, really blurry vision even with my glasses on, and tingling in my legs and feet which I am assuming cause they are so swollen. I have talked to my doctor about it and I ve been to the birth center at the hospital and they just keep sending me home to rest with no answer to what is wrong and its getting worse. Is there anything else I can or should be doing or asking about?

Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion i suggest you to check if the blood pressure is normal.Because high BP in pregnancy might be associated with headache and swollen legs.And the anaemia might also present with dizziness and swollen legs.So i suggest you to check the BP and anaemia.If they are normal you need not worry and the swollen feet might be pregnancy induced which is routinely seen at term.Take panadol for pain and take adequate rest.
