What Causes Dizziness, Nausea And Fainting?

Having moved to Qld from southern NZ I am struggling with the heat. When I went to donate blood the other day my blood pressure was so low they would not take any. How ever after sitting in the air con for half an hour it came back up to an acceptable level. For sometime on hot days I have been feeling dizzy faint nauseous and get bad headaches. I keep my fluid intake up and also take hydralytes. Should I been concerned and is there anything else I can do.
