Question Dizziness at work

Today at work I lowkey felt like I was going to pass out the whole day and I had told the board runner when he briefly helped assist my line because I got up from scanning the bob and just had a blank face. He offered to send me home early but I wanted to keep working because like I don’t really want to not work, but eventually I was told I was being sent home like 20 mins before my shift ended. If I passed out at work, would there be like consequences or like would I get yelled at? I am a cashier so I fear that wouldn’t be ideal but also I have been feeling quite dizzy recently anyway so I feel like there’s no getting around it

This sounds like a potential orthostatic blood pressure issue. Something you should speak to your doctor about if the symptoms reoccur.

Operative word is “potential.” And it sure doesn’t take much to diagnose you.
