33w4d dizziness almost everyday

Question

I have been feeling dizzy almost every day since week 32 and it usually happens in the afternoon around lunch time or after lunch. I feel lightheaded and heart racing many times but its usually worse in the afternoon. Once I had blurry vision and cold sweat along with the dizziness while resting in bed, so I turn to my left side with my head slightly elevated and fell asleep. Few hours later it was ok but its a scary experience.I have low hb on my last gynae appt (around 9.2) 2 weeks ago and have started taking iron since. Next week will be my follow up.  Anyone have experienced the same? How do you deal with it?

Doc prescribed iron pills to me since 2nd trimester and I am still low in hb on my week 32 test, mine was 9.0. Doc asked me to start taking folate. There is one day I felt light headed and almost fainted, so please take care of yourself! Thereafter I start drinking homemade red date tea every alternate days and now I didnt feel dizzy. Not sure folate tablet or red date tea help on this.
