Brief Answer:
Need to rule out blood sugar and blood pressure problems first

Detailed Answer:
Hi there.

Do you have giddiness?

Do you feel the surroundings revolve around you, any sound in the ears, increased warm feeling in the ears ?

Have you ever passed out ?

Any problems with vision ?

There are many causes that need to be ruled out.

Firstly, low blood sugar, then low blood pressure or blood pressure fluctuations, dehydration, Migraine headache, Cervical spondylosis, extreme fatigue.

I would recommend you to get blood sugar values both fasting and 2 hours post meal blood sugar values. Also get your blood pressure measured in both lying down and sitting positions. Get your vision tested. If you have increasing headaches, vision problems then get a CT Scan brain done.

I hope I have answered your query.

Kindly answer my queries for me to be in a better position to help you.

Regards,

Dr. Aashish Raghu

Brief Answer:
Low blood pressure needs to be investigated

Detailed Answer:
It does look like you have low blood pressure because normally it should be around 120/80 or not less than 100 systolic. I advise you to consult your Innuendo Medicine Specialist to investigate further. Drink plenty of water. Eat plenty of fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables. Do daily brisk walking.
