You may be experiencing either alterations in blood pressure control referred to as ORTHOSTATIC HYPOTENSION or you may be suffering from the earliest stages of nutritional/metabolic deficiencies such as Vitamin B12, folate, Vitamin D, or Magnesium. I would get all of these looked at through specific blood tests before embarking upon treatment because you don't want to be wasting time and money treating things that are not a problem, make sense? You could also be suffering from a mild urinary tract infection which may seem almost absurd for the symptoms but one thing I've learned long ago as a doctor....and that is....there is always a reason why the MEDICAL TV programs always talk about getting urine tests on everyone......and that's because you'd be absolutely floored by the variety of conditions, symptoms, and sensations people can very quickly get rid of once they treat a mild urinary tract infection that they never suspected they had if not for their doctor just following the same recipe guide as the guys Grays Anatomy do! LOL!! Those are my opinions based upon your limited history. Please rate this a 5 STAR ENCOUNTER and write to me at: www.bit.ly/drdariushsaghafi for more questions or to laugh back at my absolutely knee slapping HAHA! Cheers!
