Hello,

Your symptoms could be indicative of orthostatic hypotension. For this reason, I recommend consulting with your general physician for a physical exam and some tests:

- A Head Up Tilt test
- Complete Blood Count for anemia
- Blood electrolytes for possible imbalance
- Thyroid hormone levels

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Aida Quka
