13. Feeling Dizzy or Lightheaded During Pregnancy?

 

Understand the Hormonal and Nervous System Connection

 

Do you experience dizziness, lightheadedness, or a faint sensation—especially when standing up or moving quickly? These sensations are common in pregnancy and often linked to hormonal, adrenal, and nervous system changes. At Physic Ebisu, we provide gentle, drug-free care to rebalance your body and support daily comfort.

Hormones, Adrenal Function, and Blood Pressure

During pregnancy, estrogen and progesterone levels rise rapidly, increasing stress on the adrenal glands. If adrenal function becomes depleted, blood pressure regulation can weaken—leading to orthostatic hypotension (dizziness when standing). This is often described as “adrenal fatigue” and may also contribute to fatigue, mood swings, and low energy.

Autonomic Nervous System and Blood Sugar Fluctuations

The autonomic nervous system controls your body’s unconscious functions like blood pressure and glucose balance. When this system is strained, sudden drops in blood sugar or blood pressure can cause dizziness or brain fog. Symptoms may be more noticeable in the morning, after a bath, or when fasting.

 

 

Cranial Imbalance and Balance Disorders

Postural changes, teeth clenching, or chronic stress may cause micro-imbalances in cranial bones—especially the temporal and sphenoid bones, which affect your sense of balance. Subtle misalignment can create sensations of unsteadiness, vertigo, or mild nausea.
