A member asked:
Why do i feel dizzy when i stretch in the morning? some say because i hold breath too much.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: simply because your blood pressure drops, when you stretch like you do. We call this, the Valsalva maneuver. I doubt you have anything to be of any concern about
