8 months pregnant and feeling sick?

Question

I've had pain in my upper right abdominal for a couple of months but its been more disturbing recently.  I brought this to the doctor's attention but he said it was a muscle.  My blood pressure is normal and blood work is normal.  I've been hypoglycemic for years (doctors don't believe me as blood work is great).  I've learned to manage it with glucose monitor and diet.  I've been drinking about a gallon of water a day and still feel dehydrated.

Past few days I've been feeling sick (headaches, nausea, visual disturbance).  I have difficulty breathing.  I can not lay on my right side or turn to my right without feeling a weird pain.

I don't know what to do.  My next appointment is in a week, but he says I'm healthy and the malaise I'm feeling is due to being pregnant.

Any suggestions to feel better?

All of it sounds like normal pregnant stuff late in the game until I read visual disturbances.... that is a symptom of preclampsia. Stand up to the doctor, I promise not all nurses are good at taking blood pressures.

I had pain in my right upper stomach under my ribcase that radiated to my back, they checked my liver but it was gallstones. Call and make an appt for sooner while its bothering you. It maybe your liver, gallstones or of you are seeing spots, preeclampsia.
