really tired of being tired and dizzy
I am also getting dizzy almost every time I stand up. It goes away after maybe 30 seconds but I am tired of dealing with that, too. I am drinking plenty of fluids, and again all labs are good. I think my blood pressure is dropping and I have tried adding a bit more salt to my diet (I don't really like my food that salty) but that has not helped.
Other than this, I feel good, and I have days when I am not tired and have lots of energy. I have been wondering if I have chronic fatigue sydrome or something, seriously.

A couple of questions / comments
Chronic tiredness can also be due to sleep apnea. How's your arterial blood gases for O2 saturation?
Tiredness and dizziness can also be due to low blood pressure - how do you feel when you exercise (whi*****reases blood pressure)? When I was thin I always had this problem, but when I exercised I felt great.
How do I feel when I exercise?/ Well, I have done very little exercise lately. So I don't even know. That's awful, isn't it? Maybe I should try exercising some and see if that helps.

I really don't like the idea of needing a pacemaker.
Do you think I should ask my PCP to order a Holter monitor test?
