What Causes Mild Dizziness, Low BP And Burning Sensation In The Face?

I am 59 years old female and my blood pressure usually runs 115/68. Lately Ive had some spells feeling dizzy, light headed, feel like i'm gonna faint. 3 days ago i felt the same bad ways and also felt like i was burning on the inside and my face was red and felt really hot. Took my pressure and it was 105/50. Finally got it to go up to 109/57 after about 3 or 4 hours. Today my face was hot again and I feel slightly dizzy and took my pressure and it was 109/59 and in less than 10 minutes it was down to 100/54. is this bad?

Thank you for contacting HCM. your blood pressures are low normal and those should not cause dizziness. facial flushing with dizziness and low normal BP makes me suspicious for some hormonal imbalances.

I need some more information. do you get any palpitations? do you feel dizzy when you stand up from sitting position ? some times autonomic dysreflexia can cause.

have you diagnosed with diabetes. please answer these.
