Summary of Symptoms:
Insomnia, high sensitivity to light and sound.
Anxiety, racing thoughts.
Chest heaviness and tightness.
Low BP readings (e.g. 94/69 mmHg) with high pulse rate (101 bpm).
Light-headedness, low energy, fainting-like feeling.
Temporary relief after sleep.
Practicing yoga and pranayama with limited relief.
🧠 Most Likely Causes:
Anxiety and Sleep Disturbance:
Your description suggests a stress-related anxiety pattern.
Physical symptoms like chest tightness and racing pulse are typical of anxiety attacks or panic episodes.
Low-Normal Blood Pressure:
BP in the 90s/60s is not dangerous in healthy young women if there are no symptoms.
But since you feel faint or tired, relative hypotension may be affecting you during stress.
Possible Autonomic Dysregulation:
Sudden drop in BP with fast pulse may reflect postural hypotension or dysautonomia, worsened by stress or poor hydration.
✅ What You Can Do:
🧘 Lifestyle Adjustments:
Continue yoga and pranayama, but also try guided meditation (like Yoga Nidra before sleep).
Avoid screen time, caffeine, or late-night meals before sleep.
Create a dark, cool, and quiet sleep environment.
💧 Hydration & Diet:
Increase water and salt intake slightly, unless you have
kidney/heart issues.
Have frequent small meals; avoid long fasting.
Include magnesium-rich foods (nuts, seeds, dark chocolate) for stress relief.
💬 Medical Advice:
Visit a physician for:
Detailed physical exam
ECG if chest symptoms persist
Thyroid, cortisol,
B12,
Vitamin D tests
If anxiety is interfering with life, short-term use of mild anxiolytics or melatonin for sleep may be considered under guidance.
⚠️ When to Seek Immediate Help:
Chest pain with shortness of breath, dizziness, or fainting.
If symptoms worsen despite lifestyle changes.
🟢 Conclusion:
Most likely related to anxiety + poor sleep + borderline low BP.
This can be reversed with structured routine, hydration, therapy, and if needed, temporary medication.
