I've had a pounding headache for 3 days straight now, and it gets worse whenever i stand up. what could be causing this?

Low volume: You proba ly have low blood pressure. When you stand up, gravity pulls your blood down & if you do not have enough volume circulating, one trends to get dizzy and or get headaches. Visit your doctor for a thorough evaluation which includes vitals check. Including orthostatics (measuring blood pressure laying flat, sitting,standing). Starvation can cause that as well. See your doc now.
