Feeling Lightheaded, Excessive Sweating. Low Blood Pressure, Anemia. What Could Be Causing This?
Hi there. This morning I was at my work and started to feel very light headed, sweating excessively and had the feeling I was going to faint. I started to gag but nothing came up. Luckily I was in a ward as I am training to be a student nurse and they checked my bp , it was sitting at 78/45. My blood pressure usually is 100/60. This has been happening a lot over the last year and a half. I was anaemic however got my bloods checked 4 months ago and my hb was fine. What do you think could be causing this? Thanks very much

You are having postural Hypotension. Relax... Consume lots of water( atleast 2 liter a day), Have a good breakfast, as hypoglycemia may also aggravate the symptoms. Having 2 cups of coffee a day will also benefit you.
Take Care
