Hi
Your symptoms could be related to orthostatic hypotension. Chronic anemia or dehydration could also trigger this clinical situation. Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with your GP for a physical exam and some tests: - a Head Up Tilt test for orthostatic hypotension- complete blood count for anemia- blood electrolytes.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards!
