About 18 weeks I started experiencing dizziness and feeling faint and it'd happen the odd day in work and in shopping centres I'd just over heat and need to sit down straight away, but now I'm just 35 weeks and this is constant as in happening everyday. When I went to doctors before they just told me its normal its my blood pressure increasing and decreasing, but now I'm experiencing it much more and the last few days I feel less hungry and not able to eat much. Should I be worried??

Back to the docs I'm afraid! In the meantime, eat little and often to keep up your blood sugar, and try not to stand up too fast from sitting or lying down. Also, if you're on your feet, lots of rest breaks with your feet elevated.

We can't give medical advice. Back to the doctors with you and if you're not happy with their reply land in your maternity hospital a&e to be seen.
