Dizzy

Just wondering what I can do to help me in the mornings. Yesterday it was between morning tea and lunchtime and today I'm feeling it already (just after breakfast). I think what's happening is that I'm getting too hungry (oops) before eating. Is it low blood sugar or something and how can I boost it when I realise too late what I've done? (Obviously eating when I'm hungry is the solution but it's a bit late for that this morning!)

I was having dizzy spells and the midwife found that as well as me having low blood pressure my iron stores were completely depleted, I have been on iron tablets for just over a week and have had far less dizzy spells so that might be something to consider especially if you are struggling to keep up with your hunger.

I get the same thing. My blood pressure was taken at 90/40 when the spells were at their worst. Not really alot you can do for it but I hear dehydration is a common cause. I think alot of people underestimate how much water we need to drink (I am shocking as I hate water).

My pressure has come back up to 118/70 and the spells are only when i'm tired or hungry which is my own fault. Lots of little snacks through the day seem to help. I chow down on green seedless grapes and they seem to help with the low blood sugar and i'm sure they're better than the scary amount of peanut slabs I was inhaling :)
