Everytime I stand up I get dizzy. Is this common?!
Question: Everytime I stand up I get dizzy!. Is this common!?
I sit down (or slump as my girlfriend says) for some periods of time - usually 30 - 60 minutes on average!. Whenever I stand fully up, I experience this dizziness and lightheadedness for about 3-5 seconds!.
I am not overweight and I exercise regularly!. My resting pulse rate is between 60 - 80 and I am 17 years old!. My BMI is in the average band too!.
What's the cause for this and what solutions are there!? I will be visiting a doctor next week anyway for a check up and may query about the problem too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
How is your blood pressure!? Im not a doctor, but I also have this problem!. When I stand up and get dizzy my vision is also affected!. I have low blood pressure and the doctors I go to have told me that it could be pre-syncope!. It is a condition that means you could be on the verge of passing out!. If your blood pressure turns out to be low, ask about medications that can raise it such as sodium tablets!.
If your blood pressure isn't normally low, ask the doctor to test it when you are sitting down, than immediately after you stand up!. Sometimes there is a big difference in this and that could be the problem!. Best of luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have this too!. It's called orthostatic hypotension, google it!. It occurs when you assume the standing position and your B/P drops from all the blood rushing out of your head so quickly!.!. I'm a nurse and I see this ALOT!. Generally there is no cure,you could dangle your feet at the side of the bed before standing to decrease dizziness!. I would definitely talk to a DR!. , only they can diagnose!

This is caused by a sudden drop in blood pressure!. You may need to go from sitting to standing in a slower way!. If this continues, and you find it very problematic, you should consult your doctor when you see him next week to rule out any unknown underlying problems!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
