yes dizziness and fainting spells are usually due to hypertension
but there may be other factors as well like heat which can make ur bp go up if u r deeply concerned see ur local dr as there r things that may cause u to pass out and even drs dont know what causes it it could be also caused because of high or low blood pressure so u often feel lathargic like u have no energy or just once in awhile if that is the case has ur dr done iron tests or ur hemoglobin ur blood cell counts good luck with it if ud like to ask me more about my case leave message and next time ill leave u my email addie

Hi Slickrai, While hypertension can indeed cause those symptoms, so can hypotension (low blood pressure) However the breathlessness is a bit out of the ordinary. Have you had a blood test to see if you are anaemic? This is very common in females. The tiredness and breathlessness together would point more to that than hypertension to be honest.since the red blood cells carry oxygen in your blood, anaemia (lack of red blood cells) would prevent the amount of oxygen your body needs from getting to vital organs. Try pressing hard on your thunb or fingernail, when you let go it will be pale, but the pink colour should return immediately. If it takes longer than a second or two, the chances are that you are anaemic. Also, look at your conjunctival sac(Inside lower eye lid) and see if it is a nice healthy pink/red or if it is very pale. This also is an indication. If your problem is anaemia it is easily rectified by a course of iron tablets. Take care and good luck. Love Mel.

when i was pregnant i fainted a lot.the doctors said it was because of either high/low blood sugar levels,dehydration,or something with the heart.so they hooked me up to a monitor to watch my heart rate for like 15-20 minutes.then when they found it was not my heart they told me to eat plenty of protein in the morning and drink plenty of fluids.they never found they exact reason why and it was during 2 of my pregnancies,and after.

yes, high blood pressure can cause those.
