Fatigue, Light Headed, Unable To Do Ordinary Chores Without Cramping, On And Off Shortness Of Breath, Low Appetite. BP 90/50. Suggestions?

I learned at the pain clinic today that my blood pressure is 90/56; 90/52, and 90/50 - sitting. I am "fatigued",light headed, and unable to do ordinary chores or raise my arms without cramping in arm muscles. I do a little "straightening up of the house", let my dogs out, and then have to go lie on the couch for a couple of hours. I occasionally get short of breath. I am eating, but not as much as normal. My pcp is on vacation.

Hi,
Please get a ECG done and a complete blood count and General blood picture done for the symptoms as told. Anemia is to be ruled out along with any cardiac issue. Since these are and two main causes of shortness of breath and easy fatiguability .
Please mention your age and gender so that diagnosis can be narrowed down
