Brief Answer:
Changes in blood pressure to consider.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to the "Ask a Doctor" service.

I have read your query.

In my opinion, your symptoms were caused by a temporary lowering of blood pressure.

Any arrhythmia also may be an explanation.

Perimenopause and thyroid gland dysfunction may affect blood pressure levels.

So, it is necessary to monitor your blood pressure and heart rhythm for a few days in order to understand correctly your condition.

Holter monitoring is an appropriate examination in such cases.

Discuss with your Doctor these issues.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
