A member asked:

Why sometimes whenever i stand up and walk after sit for quite some time i feel dizzy and cannot walk in a straight line? need advice

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lots of stuff: My guess is you have inner ear disease or labyrinthitis. Also could be low blood pressure or anemia or side effect of medication. Rare cause is frontal lobe or cerebellar mass. See your primary care doc.
