Hi there ,
Thanks for writing in.
This could be the start of a viral fever.
Other possibilities I can think of are disorders of glucose metabolism, thyroid disorders, Anaemia, Vitamin B12 or D deficiency.
Fall in blood pressure is another possibility.
In order to rule out the same I would advise you to get the following investigations done. BP check, ECG, blood investigations like Hb, TSH, Random Blood Sugar, Vitamin B12, Vitamin D levels,etc.
Hope this information was helpful to you.
Regards,
Dr. Divya Kuttikrishnan
