Low blood pressure/"Hard" heart beating/Kidney problems/Anxiety

[STL7]

29/F, average height and weight. Over the past 2 years I have experienced episodes of dizziness, feeling as if I will faint, pounding heart. I have also developed frequent urination over time. My doctor has written off the episodes as anxiety. However, I have noticed that my blood pressure has been much lower than normal - BP has always been in "normal" range, but now is often in the 90s/50s. I have also noticed my heart pounding more than normal recently. Could the BP and heart rate explain the episodes and the kidney symptoms??

I am trying to put all of this together to stop the attacks. Please help!

Thank you! Can you (or anyone else) think of reasons why the frequent urination could be linked to these symptoms?

Hello,

Drop in BP or hypotension can cause dizziness.Other causes of low BP and rapid heart rate along with palpitations are dehydration,vasovagal reaction or some cardiac pathology.I would recommend a cardiologist’s evaluation and getting echocardiography and holter monitor test to rule out any cardiac cause.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing.Kind regards.
