Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, I would suggest that you should get yourself clinically examined and investigated by your doctor.
Your blood pressure and pulse rate should be monitored. Your symptoms can be due to fall in blood pressure and should be monitored.
Take adequate meals and drink lots of water daily.
I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks. Regards.
