Fatique in the morning

Morning has to be the worst time of the day for me. I feel okay before I get out of bed but once I get out of bed I feel very hazy, dizzy. Feels like I am walking around in a dream. It tends to go away later in the afternoon but it makes mornings very difficult. It happened last time I had a bad attack.. Can anyone else relate to feeling like this?

    I just do not feel well and I really think that it's because I cried yesterday on my way to work about my Aunt who is in the hospital.  I don't think that we will have her much longer.  She is very frail.  Now she needs help eating.  So, this is the third time in a year that I felt this way after crying.  I think crying releases toxins into my body.  I also worked up a sweat at the gym...
