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??
