So I stock shelves 4 days a week 8.5 hours a day at the Home Depot overnight.

I'm 18 years old and in above average physical condition.

When I do tasks such as bending down or reaching, I often have intense head rushes (loss of vision, blood loss to the head, like when you sit for a long time and stand fast...except this happens in a mere 5 seconds of crouching!!!) This happens at least 15 times in an 8.5 hour shift.

I've been checking my pulse overnight...right now its around 55bpm. When I'm working its around 90bpm. I know my blood pressure is on the low side of healthy, according to those machines in drug stores.

Thoughts?

Sorry.. In a silly mood.. :p

It does seem a bit excessive, and if those machines show a low blood pressure condition, you might want to have it checked out.

sounds like you may have low blood pressure. I have the same problems; I'm in excellent physical condition but geat orthostatic hypotension quite a bit. Drinking lots of water has helped me.
