What Causes Dizziness And Blurred Vision During Pregnancy?

Hi, I'm 12 weeks pregnant and the past few days i keep getting really dizzy and light headed. My vision gets really blurry and I see spots, it looks like a tv does when it starts going staticy. I also can't get my pulse to go under 115 resting. What should I do?

Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Dizziness and light headedness is common in early pregnancy due to the effect of progesterone hormone whic is increased in pregnancy.
Resting pulse rate of more than100 beats per minute can be due some cardiac pathology or due to hyperthyroidism, or sometimes it is normal in pregnancy( sinus tachycardia). I would suggest you to consult a physician to get properly examined, investigated and treated accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
