Is it high blood pressure? Am I going to have a stroke or a heart attack sometime in the next few days? Was I standing too close to the burner?

This s0unds like me and I have low blood pressure. Most of the time I'm absolutely fine then once in a blue moon I go faint and have to steady myself. When that happens, I just eat something, have a quick sit down ans carry on with whatever it was I was doing beforehand.

If it's low blood pressure, there's much less of a chance that you'll have a stroke or a heart attack (which is great news for me because I'm a fiend for all the wrong foods)
