Yes, this happened more dramatically in pregnancy but sometimes when not pregnant.
Usually a low-blood sugar or dehydration issue.
Are you eating enough healthy foods & hydrating well? What about your health otherwise?
yeah. my health is good. been drinking more juice lately.

That may be contributing: juice is very sugary, the simple carbs can raise and then drop your blood sugar and is not usually good for hydrating.
You might try to drink more (plain) water, little-no juice and more nourishing, sustaining foods and see if it helps.
Sometimes eating more frequently helps this as well.
GL!

i had my blood pressure drop really low but it only happened once... dr didnt really have a reason for it ... i went to the dr cause i was having really bad chest pain and cramps. they chalked it up the the fact i was painting with latex paint the night it happened (im allergic to latex) and I had pulled a muscle in my stomach... but no real response as to why my bp dropped so low.
sorry i dont have any answers for you but try taking it easy. hope it gets better
everytime it happens my df tells me to lay down for a while and relax

this happens to me when I'm not eating protein regularly enough. If I let it get to the point where I'm feeling weak and nauseous, then it's too late, and it will take hours to return to normal. I have to eat every hour, and sometimes just fruit doesn't cut it.
post c section ? tmi sorry
Are you a first time mom? If not, how many kids do you have?
