Couvaid Syndrome: or sympathetic pregnancy is a rare condition in which the partner of a pregnant woman experiences some of the symptoms of pregnancy. Hypertension has not been one of the symptoms associated with this condition. More likely this is due to another cause. Dizziness can occur with HTN and many other conditions. If either one of you are experiencing these symptoms you should have it looked into.
