    Default Seeing stars and spots

    Hey all. Im not sure if this is normal but as of late i have been seeing stars and spots. I only had them once in a blue moon beforehand but now its become quite frequent. My GP is only on casually atm so havnt been able to get in to see him. I did go to the hospy a couple of weeks ago now about swollen feet and feeling a bit faint all of which havnt returned but the middie did say to be careful of these sympotms. I have very low blood pressure also, 70 /40 is a normal reading. She did say that if it were to rise to a normal reading, it may be very high for me.
    What does this mean? Having spots and stars but also low bp.
    Two days ago, i also had contractions all day and through the night but have since stopped and only come when i start to walk big distances (like doing the groceries)....
    Your thoughts are appreciated

    I get thatfeeling when my blood pressure or blood sugars drop or when I get up too quickly ( because mu bloodvpressure drops). Definitly worth getting it checked. Maybe ring your hospital or the health direct number?

    It can be a symptom of pre eclampsia or toxemia. You should get it checked out as soon as you can as it can escalate quite quickly.

    I dont want to scare you but it 'could' be very serious.

    Please get checked out ASAP - this could be something or it could be nothing and it is always better to be safe than sorry. Don't wait for your hospy visit - just turn up there and ask for a visit.
    All the best

    Please get it checked ASAP. PE can lead to liver failure.
