What causes sudden blindness when standing up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood pressure: Some blurring of vision and dizziness can occur if you have orthostatic hypotension. This is when your blood pressure suddenly drops when standing up. This is more common if you have low blood pressure or are being treated with antihyperensive medications. Discuss this issue with your doctor.
