A member asked:

19.when i stand up i get lightheaded, start shaking can't control it and last about 1-2 min. feel like i will pass out of fall down. what could it be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Could be: seizure or just orthostatic hypoptension. Difficult to say without examination. If you have anemia, this could also contribute. Consult with your doctor if symptoms persist.
