It may be related...: ...to the Patent Foramen Ovale. If the pressure inside your chest is higher when you're sitting than standing, some of the blood that should go to your brain from the left ventricle may be diverted back to your right atrium. Insufficient flow to the brain can cause dizziness & lightheadedness. If you're experiencing symptoms from a PFO, you need to see your cardiologist. Best wishes! Dr. Anne
