I've been feeling really dizzy when I stand up or turn around, and my blood pressure is at 11374 when I'm sitting. I've got asthma, fibromyalgia, and issues with low iron. A few weeks ago, I had a massive ear infection that landed me in the hospital with a high temperature and asthma problems. Now I'm also dealing with a cold and my asthma's acting up. Is it possible that my asthma or iron issues could be making my blood pressure lower than usual, since it's typically around 12080?

Hello...the b.p of 11374 is fine...it is not low to cause giddiness. Your giddiness could be due to anaemia as you mentioned iron issues, you will know it getting a complete blood picture done. Another reason for giddiness could be secondary to your ear infection.

I've been dealing with this body heat issue for the past three months. My palms and hands are hot almost all day, and when I touch any part of my body, it feels warm. My temperature hovers around 98-98.6 degrees, and I'm also getting headaches about 1-2 times a week. It's starting to worry me. Can you help?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of hyperthyroidism, which can cause increased body heat, sweating, and hand tremors. Headaches can also be a symptom of this condition. I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
