Orthostatic hypotension

I feel giddiness when I do yoga asanas in which the head goes down like forward bending. However this giddiness remains only for a fraction of second and when I come up from the asan. As I do yoga regularly just wanted to ask if I can continue such asanas and ignore this problem

Hi It could be due to dehydration .... Hydrate yourself adequately and continue yoga....

Consult physician for examination and treatment....
