1. You say you aren't eating all your calories. Eat more.
2. See your doctor. It's probably not a big deal, but you really need to know for sure.
3. Don't believe any diagnosis you get on the internet from people with no or unknown medical qualifications who don't know you personally.0 -
Are you an athlete? If so, then your heart rate and blood pressure are fine. Athletes typically have lower blood pressures and heart rates b/c their cardiovascular systems are so efficient.0

I have low blood sugar and have found that eating simple sugars (fruit, not candy), followed by complex carbohydrates (whole grains) really helps to level me out so that it doesn't drop like that.0

Your heart rate is fine. I would be concerned about your BP, though. Don't get up suddenly. AND, as a nurse, I need to tell you you may need to see your doctor. Labs to be drawn.. You may be anemic.0

It could be a series of things. From malnutrition, not eating enough, to hypotension or low blood suger. I was feeling lightheaded today. We did glucos levels at school today, turns out my blood suger was really low. U might want to check with ur doctor. better safe than sorry.0

Perhaps I should have added that I discovered my low blood sugar when I had the same thing happen to me. I would definitely suggest getting checked out at the doctor, at any rate. Blood sugar can dip even if you don't have a chronic problem with it, just from not eating enough.0
