Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hi,

I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms could b related to low blood pressure. Have you measured your blood pressure values? If your blood pressure values are low, I would recommend having some rest and taking plenty of water.

A coffee could help improve your situation too. Migraine headache can not be excluded either. If these symptoms persist and your blood pressure values are normal, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam.

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

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka,
Cardiologist
