while doing house hold work, suddenly for a few minutes I lost power in my legs--unable to stand, May I know the reason. It is bit cold outside and I am female of 65 years old. No other physical problem excepting high blood pressure for which I am taking blood pressure control tablet. After 10 to 15 minutes every thing has become normal
