Sometimes when I am at work I feel so hot even if it is winter time and I feel so uncomfortable after that I feel so dizzy. Is it due to lack of sleep or high or low blood pressure?

I don't know, but when you figure it out, let me know. I don't think it's high blood pressure, because my friend just had a complete exam and all her numbers are fine. Bloodwork was normal too. She goes outside when it's 30 degrees with shorts and shortsleeves while I shiver with jacket and long pants. She gets dizzy spells, too. She has fibromyalgia, but so do I. She doesn't sleep well, but I do. Maybe that has something to do with it. I hope you find an answer, I'll keep an eye on this one.

Sounds a lot like hot flashes, which I know from personal experience! You don't say how old you are, but I started perimenopause (onset of menopause) early in my 40's, so it's possible you're going through it too. Believe me, I know how you feel! For work, dress in layers so you can take some of them off when you get hot. If you have a private office area, even wear a tank top or sleeveless top as your bottom layer over your bra, so you can strip down to that if you need to. I also have a fan handy for really "warm" days. Sometimes it seems to be worse in the winter because the heat is on and you can't find anywhere cool, also people expect you to dress in winter clothes when what you really want to wear is a tank top! Good luck.
The dizziness is not one of my menopausal symptoms, but I do have insomnia and diabetes and if I'm very tired or my glucose is a little low, I will sometimes feel a little dizzy. I would check with a doctor and have your glucose and your blood pressure tested, just to be sure. Make sure you're eating right and getting enough fluids, and try to get enough rest, I know how hard that is.
Take care, I hope things work out.

3 years ago, I was diagnosed - hypertension with a reading of 160/100. I used to feel dizzy a lot, my legs had awful cramps, and levels were very low in my potassium, causing my fingers and toes to always cramp together. One day I started to feel really faint while I was driving with my daughter in the back seat and I passed out, hitting 3 cars and ending up in a ditch. That moment,I knew I had to do something because my meds weren't working. I heard about this diet from a friend and thought I'd give it a shot. The results have been remarkable. In just 21 days, I honestly can't remember feeling this good, my blood pressure went from 175/110 to 125/70.

For some people hypertension causes no noticible symptoms - which is why they call it the silent killer. Others have lots of symptoms and yours have been noted. You are young for it but it's not impossible. If you can keep a log of your blood pressure - first thing in the am before you get up and several times through the day. Then see your physician. This is certainly nothing to ignore.

It could be either of those. Best to get it checked out incase it is high blood pressure. That is nothing to mess around with. Also, you don't state if you are male of female. If female, could you be getting got flashed going through your change?
