Lightheadedness upon standing

2018-08-15 05:00:37
For around a year I’ve been getting lightheaded when I stand. It doesn’t always happen but often when I stand up I’m forced to sit down again or risk fainting. I’m young, eat properly and I’m fairly healthy otherwise. is there any reasons why this could be happening and how to I stop it?
