Folks who are having trouble in supermarkets might also want to have their blood pressure checked.

Mom's  similar problem was traced to low blood pressure, aggravated by standing in one place for more than a minute or so.  Happened when she was standing on line someplace, or standing in front of her closet deciding what to wear, or standing at the kitchen counter, etc.

I think the problem is called "orthostatic" -- have bp checked sitting and then right after standing up to diagnose adequately.  There are bp-raising meds that can help.
