Fainting or lightheaded feeling?

I am 63 and have been treated for high blood pressure. I have taken Ramipril 10mg capsules for 4 years and Amlodipine 5mg for the past 2 years. Last week I was walking and suddenly felt lightheaded and fainted I came round pretty quickly on the floor I landed on the grass so I had no damage physically. I had no pain or headache-no breathlessness I checked my bp 20 minutes later when I got back home it was 113/63. I have had more exercise recently because of lockdown I just wondered if my blood pressure was too low because of the walking.

It could have been that your bp was too low or an arrythmia. You should contact your physician.
