It could be the start of the menopause,a blood test at the doctors can confirm this. Blood pressure, either high or low. When you say the last couple of days I havent felt a 100% since the clocks went back.

I agree it could be your bp. or you may just be dehydrated.

I felt like this about a year ago. I'm 40 by the way and thought it may be a pre menopause thing, but I was just really dehydrated. We don't realise how much water we need. I have since been drinking at least 2 litres of water a day more if exercising or had a few glasses of wine and I have felt fine. I do notice though that if I don't drink very much water on one day I start to feel light headed and dizzy quite quickly so try and drink more water. Have also cut back a lot on the tea and coffee.
