Can faintness and dizziness be a result of hypertension (high blood pressure)?

4given/NOtW asked:


I often have days where I just cannot move. I feel out of breath and extremely tired. My doctor is not sure if I have hypertension because I do not have a family history, nor am I overweight and I am fairly young. She wants to be sure before putting me on meds. She thinks I may have “white coat syndrome”. This is when people become nervous when seeing a doctor.
