Just getting off bed rest from back injury super excited to be walking but i have to do it w/eyes closed or looking up cause if not i get lightheaded?

Deconditioning: Go slow - your vasculature and autonomic system have likely grown accustomed to you being in a recumbent position. This feeling should go away with time and exercise. Alternatively, sedative pain medications could contribute to this feeling.
