Brief Answer:
You should go to the nearest ER for immediate care...

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Although some of the symptoms can be attributed to EDS, if the blood remains that low and keeps dipping further, you need not wait any longer and visit the nearest ER for further management...don't try to drive on your own and call up the emergency services...

Meanwhile, drink a lot of electrolyte-rich fluids (e.g. Gatorade, etc.)

Let me know if I can assist you further...

Take Care
Kind Regards
