That's not normal.

I saw my doctor and he ran some tests. Heart was fine. My blood pressure runs really low. He recommended increasing sodium and that has helped, although hasn't completely eliminated the problem.

How is your vitamin D level? Sounds like Calcium deficiency.

Calcium is normal. I haven't had my Vit D checked. It is probably low given how north of the equator I live and my dietary intake is below recommended. Thank you, I will investigate.

The reason I asked about Vitamin D is because blood tests for calcium aren't very reliable. Your body will do anything it can to keep blood levels within range because it's so critical, but if your calcium levels are low it will lower your 25(OH)D levels too. Of course low vitamin D isn't good either. Not that I'm a doctor or anything, I just had to deal with something similar a while back. Good luck
