Needs clarification: It can be revealing to check ones blood pressure sitting and standing to determine if the lightheadedness might be related to dehydration which causes a drop in ones blood pressure with standing. Vertigo is usually different...a spinning feeling or feeling that everything around you is spinning. Drink fluids if dehydrated. See an ENT Dr for vertigo.

Dizzy: being dehydrated can make you light-headed but the symptoms would not last for 5 months. It is best that you get evaluated by a neurlogist

I was told that I have Orthostatic Hypotension. My question is why does lightheadedness and dizziness only effect me at times but not all the time when standing. I also have problems with my ears feeling full. Could this be part of the problem too?
