dizziness

Feeling lightheaded or briefly spinning is common here, and it is usually a mix of fluctuating hormones, dehydration and blood pressure that moves differently than it used to. It is worse when you have slept badly or skipped food.

What helps: stand up slowly, keep water nearby, do not skip breakfast, and get blood pressure and iron checked. If you faint, or the dizziness comes with chest pain, a drooping face, slurred speech or weakness on one side, that is an emergency: call 911.
