Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com.
I am Dr.Ajay Panwar,a neurologist, here to answer your query.

The symptoms which you have mentioned appear to be non-specific and there can be several reasons for the same-
Anxiety, Blood pressure abnormalities or postural fall in blood pressure, anemia, and sometimes thyroid problems.

I would suggest you to get examined by a physician for postural fall in blood pressure. Further, routine blood work including hemogram,blood sugar, serum electrolytes and Thyroid function tests is suggested. Also, doing regular mental relaxation exercises like meditation will likely be of help.

Hope that helps.If you have further queries in this regard, I shall be glad to have you in follow-up.

Regards
Dr.Ajay Panwar,
MD,DM(Neurology)
