Having just gone through this same scenario, I'll share my findings. I went to my primary care physician reporting the lightheadedness and "almost" fainting. His initial thought was that it was from my low blood pressure, but he didn't want to rule out heart issues. I had an echocardiogram, ultrasound of the carotid artery and a stress test... all tests were good. So for low blood pressure, the doctor recommend salt pills, or V8 juice. I'm starting with V8 juice and will take it from there. Good luck!
