Hello,
I would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to orthostatic hypotension.
I would recommend performing a Head-Up Tilt test in order to confirm this diagnosis.
I would also recommend checking cortisol and aldosterone plasma levels for possible adrenal gland dysfunction.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
