What Causes Lightheadedness?

I have been feeling light headed today and when bending over to tee a golf ball, nearly passed out within 5-10 seconds. It would take me 20-30 seconds to recover. BP 123/68 pulse 80 and oxygen level at 98. What could the problem be. Currently on Qsymia 7.5 mg per day and blood pressure meds. 50 yr old male. Non smoker non drinker.

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. It could be postural hypotension or dehydration.
2. Get your blood pressure evaluated with change in posture. If its normal, take good amount of water.
3. Blood pressure and oxygen levels are good. Possible dehydration. Take good amount of fluids. Continue with your healthy routine.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
