Had anyone else experienced elevated blood pressure/dizzy spells? I'm 18 weeks and yesterday i had two random dizzy spells where i felt like i was going to fall over at one point and today I just feel weird, like my heart is racing. Going to take my blood pressure once i get back to work but trying to decide how much of it is normal. Also, do you have suggestions for ways to lower your BP without meds?

Thank you both! I think today can be attributed to caffeine. I don't drink coffee often but i tried coffee from a new spot today and i think the caffeine level was pretty high. Note to self! I drink a substantial amt of water daily due to the fact that I donated a kidney 2 yrs ago so it's a huge focus for me during my pregnancy. Thanks so much for your feedback though!

I did, I was told to drink lots of water, and it helps. But also try laying for with an ice pack and relax.
This happens to me at least 4 times a week and have mentioned it to my doctor several times and he just said its part of the hormones and to eat small meals through out the day instead of three big meals. My blood pressure has been great throughout this pregnancy!
