Hi, Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.  The spinning of head at 33 weeks of pregnancy can be due to blood pressure problems - - When the blood pressure is low, it still Chat Doctor. Iron replacement before getting up is nor having any effect to stop the spinning . But taking plenty of fluids with sugar & salt through along with all other medications advised would help.  - High blood pressure can cause spinning with headache. High blood pressure is concerning in pregnancy... Here bed rest/ restricting salts in diet/ positive tension free mentality along with medications suggested by doctor are helpful.  - sometimes middle ear problems/ sinusitis/ allergic problems can lead to spinning(vertigo) & treatment is very effective once the cause is found.  - Many a times eyesight problems can cause such spinning.  * In this context to visit your treating doctor & get serial blood pressure readings would diagnose type of BP High, low or normal (Doctor may suggest to check urine for albumin. In case BP is high) ./ & check you for any other cause for the spinning.  Once the cause is known specific medications would control your problem.  -Please don't worry.  Thanks.
