Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Welcome to Ask a Doctor service!

Your symptoms could be related to low blood pressure values.

Have you measured your blood pressure values? What about your heart rate?

If your blood pressure values are low, I would recommend having some rest and taking plenty of fluids. A cup of coffee could help too.

Otherwise, I would recommend going to the ER for a physical exam and some tests:

- a resting ECG
- complete blood count
- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance.

Hope to have been helpful!

I remain at your disposal for any further questions whenever you need!

Wishing all the best,

Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
