Brief Answer:
provide following information.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome.
I have gone through your query.

Have you experienced similar problem in the past?
Is there any stress?
Is your blood pressure under control?
Which medication you are on?
Do you feel dizzy?
When this symptom occur, during standing or sitting?
It may be caused by psychological stress. Observation is needed without any medication. Presently I would suggest you to check your blood pressure in standing and sleeping positions and get back to me. Take adequate fluids and nutrition. It is better to see doctor for examination and to check your blood pressure.

This provisional advice provided by me is based entirely on the input provided to me. I would suggest examination by the doctor.

I hope this suggestion might be of some help to you.
Take care.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
