What Causes Dizziness With Low Blood Pressure?
I constantly feel dizzy and tired and sometimes like I am going to pass out. I get enough sleep but I still feel exhausted. I have a history of low blood pressure and passing out but it also feels like my head is stuffy. I feel like there is something really wrong this has been going on for a few months now.

Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Low blood pressure may lead to feeling of dizziness, light headedness and risk of passing out more during sudden change of posture like standing from sitting or supine position.
The precautions like standing slowly, moving legs before standing may help.
Take enough Fluids and increased salt intake.
Drugs may also be prescribed if needed.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
