Stand slower: You are experiencing what is called "orthostatic hypotension", which can actually cause you to pass out. Some medications or dehydration can exaggerate this response. Drink lots of water, take lots of time when standing, and talk to your physician.

Blood pressure: You can increase the fluids and salt in your diet, wear support hose and pay attention when you are standing up to do it slowly.

A nurse drew 3 blood samples on 17.02 at 12:00 pm. My blood pressure dropped and I felt light headed. She had me elevate my legs until I was feeling better. I've since been feeling constantly hungry, followed by dizziness and short, mild headaches.
