What Causes Blurred Vision , Nausea And High Blood Pressure?
im 22, 190 lbs and 5'6". around noon i went to shadow a doctor in a teaching hospital and after standing for a couple of minutes, i stated getting hot, with blurred vision, and nauseous...i almost vomitted and had to sit down. I felt myself about to faint. the only other time i have felt this was in 2009 at work, i was also on my feet? I dont recall eating or drinking anything this morning. What could be the problem? some 4 years back after i stopped working out i had high blood pressure but its normal now. I am far-sighted and wear contacts but no other health issues other than a little overweight.

Hello
This sounds like what's called a vasovagal response where the vagus nerve fires and slows the heart rate and drops the blood pressure.
It can happen out of the blue and isn't dangerous but you should be checke for anemia and electrolyte imbalances
