I was about to say low blood sugar levels too.. I've had it before, luckily just once. Make sure you always carry a snack with you just incase.

I have had this also.... quite a few times and I find it quite scary.
I have diarrhoea also when is happens, get very hot and sweaty. Plus nausea, dizziness, my legs go weak and I can't stand up.
I am at work when it happens, in the morning also. Very embarrassing sometimes! I had to get a work mate to help me this morning because I thought I was going to faint.
So no one thinks this is serious or hurting the baby? At the time, it feels just horrible. I have breakfast in the morning - do I need to be eating something more sugary?

Drinking lots of water is really good for balancing out your blood pressure.
I was hopeless for remembering to drink enough and found that keeping a sipper bottle with me at all times helped me drink more.
Also, keep snacking. Raisins or other dried fruits are good for discreet snacks, or fresh fruit if you can.

Sweet things help to get the blood sugar up quickly but don't forget to eat something a bit more sustaining at the same time so you will still be okay 1/2 hr later.
holgal it won't harm your baby but there are different things you can do to make you feel better.... would pay to talk it over with your m/w.

holgal, although it seems to happen/have happened to a few ppl on here my m/w still said to let her know at once if it happens again as she wants to do blood tests etc. Thank goodness I have been OK so for me has been a one-off so far. I'd talk to your m/w if I were you just in case though - better safe than sorry

I have spoken to my mw and have had blood tests/lab samples to do. Supposedly it is common to have moments of your heartbeat increasing, but it is not normal to have diarrhoea with it. I think the labs are on strike for 2 more days, but hopefully I will get some results shortly after that.
