Yes i mostly have sinus pressure that causes me to be light headed. I checked my blood pressure with a home based wrist bp monitor. One time it read 85/32. But 5 other times it read an average of 115/75. Two other times it had error messages. Dont know how accurate those are, and i might need to change the batteries in it soon anyway. Everytime a doctor checks me its ususally between 110/70 & 120/80. My average beats per minutes are between 75-85. So im sure the 85/32 was a glitch or something because i never fealt like i was going to black out or anything. But i will be making an appointment tomorrow morning. One more question. I usually drink 8 - 16oz glasses of water (128oz) over the course of a14 hours each day. Is that too much or too little? Thanks.

Consult physician and take pain killers if required

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Your blood pressure is in normal range and nothing to worry .
Sinus pressure with lightheadedness may also cause fatigue.
You consult your physician for examination.
Pain killers may be taken for short duration.
Your fluid intake is OK if you have a bit warm and humid environment with ample sunlight but a bit more for cold environment.
