wise mumsnetters, what do you think is behind this?
I get a real feeling I’m going to faint. If I’m standing up it’s like vertigo. If I’m sitting down I can’t read and have to shut my eyes. I get a feeling that I might faint, or extreme tiredness. I also feel like I need more air. I’ll yawn, need to breathe through my mouth for a while, maybe eat or drink something. After 5 mins it will pass and I’m fine again. Used to be every now and then but creeping up to every day. I know I need to see a dr and will do so but interested in your thoughts. Could I be heart? Blood pressure? Blood sugar?
(and will be calling dr tomorrow!)

@Gonnagetacatwhenimovein sounds very much like a drop in BP or sugar. Yes get it checked.

I agree sounds like low BP or blood sugar, you should see your gp for a check up
