Dizzy when I stand up?!
Question:
Dizzy when I stand up?
I'm a 13 year old girl, vegetarian, very active (distance runner, 27+ miles per week), and a little bit under weight. My resting heart rate when I wake up in the morning is between 48 and 55 bpm.
For about a year now, every time I stand up when I'm either laying down or sitting, I get really dizzy and have to hold onto something and close my eyes for 30 or so seconds. For the next few minutes I wont really be aware of what I'm doing and my head will feel really cloudy.
The rest of the time I feel perfectly fine, but I can't figure it out. I've heard that having a low resting heart rate could have something to do with it, but it's only really low when I wake up in the morning.
Thanks =)

Yup, low pressure.... I have this too. Take your time getting up. This can be perfectly normal, but why not see a doc anyway? Reasurance if nothing else.
Good health to you!!!
