Feeling light headed
Hi,
My sister feels light headed sometimes when she is stands up suddenly after sitting for some time.
Like if she is sitting for 10 to 15 minutes and she stands up then she feels lightheaded dizzy and sometimes sweating.
She feels fine after eating something but it happens sometimes.
What is she suffering from?? Is it anything serious??
Hi,

This is a fairly common condition and is most likely Orthostatic Hypotension (Postural Low BP).
Next Steps
Consult a General Physician (GP) and get your blood pressure checked. Your GP can look for the potential causes of this condition including any medications.
Health Tips
1. If the diagnosis turns out as such, increase salt and fluid intake.
2. Avoid standing up suddenly from lying down position. Sit up slowly from lying down position and then stand up slowly.
