Hello Dr. TrudieC

Thank you for you quick reply. As per your advice, his hemoglobin after checking is 13.6 but continues to experience symptoms of fatigue during morning time and vertigo after meals in the afternoon.

Please advice further.

Fatigue is a common symptom of spondylitis as is anemia. It is possible he is anemic which is causing faintness. He really needs to get checked out to ensure his hypertension is not causing the issue and if he is anemic to start treatment for that.
