Arrythmia: Any arrythmia can be dangerous, but especially when blood pressure drops and patients become dizzy and/or light-headed. Make sure your thyroid levels are normal as well. An ECG at your local doctor's office or urgent care is a good idea, go to the ER if worse. See a cardiologist and consider a 24 or 48 hour Holter monitor.
