> I am experiencing pretty profound weakness again at various times during the day and night. My appetite has improved considerably, so it's not owing to a lack of calories. The weakness is both physical and mental. I have been taking my BP everyday, and there is no clear sign at all of postural hypotension within the three minute period (today's result was: sitting = 124/76; immediate standing = 118/75; three minute standing = 121/83).

>The lowered BP throughout the day is starting to become troubling. I was conducting a tutorial today and after 1.5 hours of talking I was becoming very light-headed, weak, and irritable. On getting home at 6pm, my BP was 79/50.
I ate a huge meal 30 minutes ago (I could cut the meat only with some difficulty, I feel so weak). My BP is now 96/61.
This is not postural hypotension since I have not recorded any significant drop in BP from lying/sitting to standing within the three minute period. It's hypotension induced by activity, I think. But I don't understand why.
