A member asked:

Dizziness upon standing up! when laying down my b/p is norm. pulse 75 & oxygen sat is 96. when i stand up b/p norm. pulse 140 & oxy. sat is 99. ok?!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not quite: First, why would a person have an oxygen saturation monitor? Secondly, the pulse increase from 75 to 140 is a big jump, which suggests that the person might not be getting enough blood flow upstairs quickly enough. A visit to the doctor can help sort things out.
