Short of breath and dizzy

[Thighdentitycrisis]

I know I will probably get replies advising to see a GP and I will, but this has been going on for a long time now so I’m not thinking I need to urgently. Just canvassing for ideas what might be going on

Standing Up and setting off walking makes me go dizzy and I feel about to faint/ fall over. At first I thought sounds like low blood pressure but I have always had borderline high BP and Im an anxious type.

I’m not overweight, don’t smoke, drink a little. I’m probably not very fit but not the worst. I have been told in the past there is a very minor arrhythmia nothing at all to worry about, that was picked up when I wore a monitor for 24 hours once years ago, can’t even remember what led to that

Any ideas what’s going on?

Postural drop

You might have high BP as standard but if it drops as you stand you'll likely feel dizzy.

You probably should see a doctor OP.

Dizziness is a symptom of so many different things that it's hard for anyone to give you advice so you're better off seeing your GP and getting bloods done. In my case it was low B12 and folate

Thank you all for your replies
Ive been on phone to GP this morning cant get a call back today. Going to try again tomorrow
