Can Light-headedness Felt During Early Pregnancy Be Reduced?

Hi I am 38 years old and 7 weeks pregnant. I feel very light headed all the time (for a bout a week now). I have some nausea but have not actually been sick. I am very tired and sleeping or dozing for about 10 hours a night, but I still have a lack of energy throughout the day. I am taking Vit D and Folic acid daily. This is my first pregnancy and from what I ve read these feelings are pretty common but just thought I d ask if there are any measures I can take to reduce the light headeded feeling? Thanks.

Hi,

Lightheadedness in these days is due to increased pregnancy hormones. They cause nausea, vomiting or lack of appetite or capricious appetite to affect nutrition & leads to weakness. The feeling goes away as you get used to the raised hormones. Supplement of pyridoxine & Doxylamine succinate helps in reducing nausea, lack of appetite & psychological stress in early pregnancy. I would suggest you to start over the counter medicine Dominate at bed time to aleviate your symptoms. Eat whatever you feel like in small servings every 3 hours.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
