General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi there,

I am happy that you are trying to get pregnant. However, this is no an easy thing.

Feeling dizzy when you stand up quickly from bending over or sitting is related to orthostatic blood pressure. I advise to get checked by a cardiologist to rule out heart problems.

Next, what worries me is the bad swelling in your ankles. This is a sign of possible:
- heart disease
- local blood vessels problems
- urine/kidney infection.

I advise to get further urine analysis and get a Doppler echo of the blood vessels in your legs to diagnose the right problem.

With regards to being pregnant, these symptoms might be a clue, but not a definite clue. You should wait until 10 days of the due data of your periods to get the pregnancy test for confirmation.

Wish good luck!
Dr.Albana
