Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.

Such episodes are related to anxiety only. Slight low BP is normal. Most commonly at your age, anxiety only causes low BP feeling.

Your doctor must have evaluated you for the causes like Heart issues, thyroid disorders, anemia that can also cause tiredness, low BP.

If your reports come out to be normal, then you would require to do meditation and relaxation exercises.

Eat healthy diet. Include fruits and green leafy vegetables in diet.

Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption in case you do.

You should drink plenty of water and take Oral Rehydration solution in case you feel the weakness.

This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask.

Stay Healthy.
