Dizzy at 11weeks - UPDATE! ear infection , ugh!
Anyone else experience this symptom while finishing up the first tri?
Not sure if it's from the pregnancy or the fact that as of this week I am completely weaned off my lexapro, or a combination of both?!?!
Sucks!!!!
Update:
I decided to go to my primary care doctor because my Throat and my glands were starting to hurt.. Turns out I have an ear infection.. Awesome. Lol.
All that fluid in my ears certainly explains my excessive dizziness! She gave me amoxicillin.

Re: Dizzy at 11weeks
I've definitely had dizzy moments -- all that extra blood flow does crazy things to you! What I usually do is take some extra deep breaths when I feel dizzy and try to drink an extra glass of water (never can hurt). Make sure you're getting 64 oz a day, otherwise it could be a sign of dehydration.
As far as the lexapro goes, I'd definitely ask. DH went from 10 mg to 5 mg and hasn't had any symptoms and is probably weaning completely after tomorrow. I can let you know in another week if he has any "completely off" side effects. Obviously, he's not pregnant, though!
Hope you feel better!

Re: Dizzy at 11weeks
Thanks so much for the advice!!
10mg to 5mg didn't bother me, even 5mg to 2.5mg, I was ok, but now that I am completely off of it, I'm
Getting the same dizzy spells that I would get if I forgot to take my pill one or two days..

Re: Dizzy at 11weeks
I wonder if they're going to halve him again before going to zero too. He's been on it just about a year now. He had his own little PPD/anxiety after DD was born that had us at the ER 5 times in 2 weeks when she was a few months old. Although he swears it was work-related, not family related, even after all this time.

Re: Dizzy at 11weeks
I had dizzy spells starting at 10 weeks. It's really bad if I get up to quickly- I get super light headed. I've read that this is fairly common among pregnant woman, so I've just been trying to take things slow.

Re: Dizzy at 11weeks
Is there anything we can take? I have a prescription for antivert (used to treat the symptoms of vertigo).. I looked it up and it's a class B drug, thoughts?

Re: Dizzy at 11weeks - BUMP, with question at the bottom
I would get dizzy if I was hungry (i think it was low blood sugar) or it could have been because your body is producing an extra amount of blood for you and your LO

Re: Dizzy at 11weeks - BUMP, with question at the bottom
I have been dizzy on and off for the past 4-5 days. It comes and goes, but when I get dizzy I feel light headed and nauseous at the same time (haven't thrown up though). It usually goes away after a little bit, but it is not a good feeling.
I am 9 weeks, so I am not sure if this is a sign of MS or jsut has to do with the blood flow.

Yes I remember getting dizzy spells, even when I laid down it felt like the room was spinning. I don't know if it had something to do with blood sugar because usually after I ate something I felt better.

Re: Dizzy at 11weeks - BUMP, with question at the bottom
OMG i was just about to write about feeling dizzy...i am 14 weeks and today was the first time i felt really dizzy and thought i was going to pass out on the subway this morning!
i had to get off the train and sit down without all the crowds, drink my water and relax for a few minutes before getting back on. I had a very helpful MTA worker stay with me and talk to me until i felt better to get on the train.
i drink lots of water and had a light snack before i left so i'm not sure why it happened...

Was it hot on the subway. I didn't have any MS but I was more aware of the rocking and that made me feel really bad. If you could sit in the middle of the train car and just close your eyes, I was not able to read on the train for 5 months!

it wasnt hot but now that you mention it, it could have been the movement of the train. The platform was really hot but i felt so much better sitting out there than in the cold train. thanks next time i'm going to sit in the middle

Re: Dizzy at 11weeks - UPDATE! ear infection , ugh!
Ugh, glad you caught it!
I'm on amoxicillan right now too. My OB saw my throat on Tuesday and thought it looked like strep. I just have a horrible cold but it's getting much better every day. Good thing because we're flying to NY on Saturday!!! I just bought some ear planes to use on the plane.
