Incredibly fatigued and lightheaded. exercise intolerance despite exercising for years. bp & heart rate lying down 98/64, 67. after 10 min standing 114/72, 90 despite being hydrated. can that increased heart on standing be causing my symptoms?

: It is normal for your blood pressure to increase after standing. This would not cause you lightheadedness. You should see your doctor to find out what the problem is. To rule out a cardiac issue as the etiology, you should see a cardiologist for an evaluation. Best of luck to you!
