A member asked:

Why do you get dizzy when you stand up too fast?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A couple reasons: You could be dehydrated, be taking meds that drop your blood pressure, have anemia, and thyroid issues. Would suggest visiting your regular doctor and check blood pressure supine and standing.

Dr Altman and another doctor agreed
