Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry. Check blood pressure.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome. I understand your concern.
Since you are not having any symptoms of dizziness or tiredness , it may not be a significant problem. Please check your blood pressure. It may be lower than usual. If it is very low and you have symptoms like dizziness, you should increase your salt and water intake and that will be sufficient to overcome your symptoms. You may have to lie down for some time if you have symptoms. Nothing more to be done and no cause for concern
